Pros

Lots of access to learning opportunities, sometimes chipotle catering. Strong sense of community in suffering.

Cons

Micro-managers in all the ways, long hours with low work life balance. Women are paid less and given poor raises. Toxic middle management is allowed across all departments. By year 6 the daily hazing becomes more normalized and accepted as workplace culture.

Pros

Benefits, 401k matching, coworkers are friendly, smart and have good intentions, some people really care about the mission

Cons

Micromanagers, dictators, lack of communication, low pay, little transparency into promotion process, good people who care being exploited and burned out, corporate forcing teams to push out software before it is properly tested EDMG hired a data officer that screwed up the data warehouse so bad that they’ve locked every department’s server down to the point where any that interacts with data, even data that isn’t crossfunctional, has to submit a request to them to review and run a basic line of code. Absolute madness.
