People are smart, work is interesting and challenging, great healthcare and perks, good WFH policy, and more recently allows employees to explore various projects across firm

Cons

Management and senior leadership seems resistant to change at times even though company has grown immensely and operations cannot continue like a small firm. 401k matching could be better. Slow promotion cycles

Pros

Strong culture and collaborative environment with smart, supportive colleagues. Admins are trusted partners and get exposure to senior leadership, which provides great learning opportunities. Compensation and benefits are competitive compared to similar roles.

Cons

Workload can be high, with admins often supporting multiple stakeholders while also providing backup coverage. Expectations can vary widely depending on the team, which can create inconsistency and pressure. Career growth paths are less structured and require a lot of self-direction. Work-life balance can be challenging at times, especially across time zones.
