Business Outlook

Pros

Great pay, flexible hours(hybrid can be allowed depending on role and manager), and overall great atmosphere. Site leaders definitely make great efforts to have community events that bring everyone together. They aren't given a ton to work with so they do a good job of creating a good work environment. My coworkers are great and the work we do is seen and acknowledged, and I'm able to see how my work is used down the line.

Cons

There's a lot of uncertainty with multiple reorganizations happening and higher-up leadership up and leaving. I haven't been affected but many around me have.
