Pros

Flexibility: The hybrid work model offered an excellent balance between remote work and in-person collaboration. This flexibility helped maintain a healthy work-life balance. Client-Focused Environment: The role allowed for deep engagement with clients, giving me ample opportunities to build relationships, resolve issues, and contribute to client satisfaction. Supportive Leadership: Management was approachable and receptive to feedback. Regular check-ins and open communication channels helped in addressing challenges and driving improvements. Professional Growth: I gained valuable experience in strategic client management and was exposed to various tools and processes that enriched my skillset. Collaborative Culture: The cross-functional teamwork was strong, with colleagues from various departments working together to meet client needs effectively.

Cons

Communication Gaps: At times, there were inconsistencies between remote and in-office teams, leading to delays in decision-making and project execution. Outdated Processes: Some internal procedures felt a bit outdated, which occasionally hindered efficiency and required extra effort to work around. Ambiguous Feedback: While leadership was supportive, the feedback process sometimes lacked the structure needed to clearly understand performance expectations. Workload Variability: There were periods of high workload that, without additional resources, could lead to stress and burnout.

Pros

The team I was on was small but it had good people. My direct manager and her boss were great, but everyone above them were horribly disorganized and incompetent. More on that under cons. Pay was fine, slightly above the average. But raises were inconsistent. The ability to work from home was great. It was rare to be asked to work overtime, so work life balance was good.

Cons

Disorganized upper management who thought they knew better than the folks working in the weeds every day. There were multiple times that they would implement a change that my team would strongly recommend against, but it was shoehorned in anyway. Months later they would come back and say “that was actually a bad idea” and we would have to fix their mistakes, despite warning them against it in the beginning. How well you get trained also depends on your department. My team worked with other teams at Sentara that were often attempting to do things that could have put the company in legal jeopardy, but they were never told not to do it.
