Pros
-Flexible Schedule -Decent Base Salary -Friendly and Understanding Management (Mostly) -Talented Co-Workers -Supportive of Remote Work
Cons
-Very difficult to advance your career. There are few opportunities available. -If you do manage to advance to the next level of your career track the accompanying pay raise is typically disappointing. Usually a nominal 5-10%. -Yearly COL raises are pitifully low. They average 1.5% of the median of your pay range. So you're looking at a 0.75% yearly COL in a time when inflation is hitting a 6% increase each year. -All of these drawbacks taken together create an environment where "going above and beyond" is significantly disincentivized. And many people are simply keeping the lights on and collecting a paycheck. -The C suite executives have an extremely flat heirarchy which allows for far too much swirl in regards to decision making as well as a culture of finger pointing and "passing the buck" to a different executive/branch of the organization.
