Pros

People are alright. There really aren't much pros here to meet the 20 word minimum. Maybe good for someone just getting out of college to be able to work downtown.

Cons

Don't expect a raise even if you have to put in 60 hour weeks on end due to projects being under budgeted. Then expect to get reprimanded for not being able to complete those projects in the ridiculously low amount of hours

Pros

• Great opportunity to learn and grow professionally. • Worked on a wide variety of interesting projects. • Many knowledgeable and supportive coworkers. • Strong place to build technical and project management experience. • I was able to advance my career and take on increasing responsibilities over my 11 years.

Cons

• Communication between departments often felt siloed. • Leadership could be more transparent about company decisions and policy changes. • More mentorship and support for project managers would be beneficial. • In my experience, opportunities for advancement did not always feel based solely on performance, and personal relationships sometimes appeared to carry significant influence. • Remote employees would benefit from more consistent treatment and clearer expectations. • Management styles varied significantly between departments, which led to inconsistent employee experiences. • Administrative tasks often took priority over developing project management and leadership skills.
