Pros

Standard good benefits, like 401k, holidays, "unlimited" sick and PTO (basically think you can get 3-4 weeks just on PTO, not including sick days). Open to parallel career movement if you're interested.

Cons

Career trajectory only ok if you're already senior in the field, harder to think about getting promotions. Pay is alright for US-based remote, but not as competitive with higher tier Software Engineering companies.

Pros

Responsible Time (which is truly encouraged to be used and is one of the only things keeping people above water at the moment); great coworkers

Cons

Company is growing too big, too fast and employees simply cannot keep up and are burning out. Too many changes at once and employees feel senior leadership does not notice or they simply don’t care. Associates who have been with Empower since the beginning are saying this is not the same Empower they once loved working for.
