Pros
- pay - some people are nice - looks good on your resume for when you eventually leave
Cons
- weirdly very clique-y environment, with high school drama around every corner (whispering, rude comments during meetings, etc.) - leadership and management pick favorites, and reserve interesting project for them while siloing others into repeating the same project types - minimal training if you are hired off-cycle, that is then held against you - no care for supporting junior staff (I was left for without a manager for months after starting due to a scheduled leave - never assigned a new manager even though it was requested) - male leadership and management has a clear preference for working with male junior colleagues, leaving women continuously staffed on all-male project teams - no regard for work-life balance (even witnessed some team members calling out others during meetings, in front of management and leadership, for leaving work 1 hour early to go to a doctor / vet appointment)
