Pros
- Small department, so easy to learn new things
- You'll dip your hands in a little bit of everything
- You won't be bored
- I learned a lot, mostly by necessity
- Guaranteed 10% bonus every year (not really guaranteed but has never not been given)
- LGBTQ friendly rules and policies. As an ally, it's nice to see.
Cons
- Work-life balance is non-existent: Mandatory 45 hour work weeks and refusal to let anyone work remotely, unless it directly benefits the company. It's a bad look. A "my way or the highway" mentality.
- Lots of tension and lack of communication from top to bottom.
- Horrible benefits. Your standard high-deductible plan that will make you question every year why you pay the premiums. I would gladly pay more for better benefits.
- Be prepared to open an account at the bank, whether you plan to use it or not.
As a note, there are people there that I believe are trying to fix things, but it often felt like a losing battle. There was a slight sense of the tides changing before I left, so who knows what could change.
The negatives are 100% on the management, mostly at the top level. There are good people working here otherwise.
I do believe a lot of these points are subject to change. I do not absolutely despise my time here, as I believe it was just another fork in the road. There are good people working here and they deserve change for the better.
