The people are great but there’s still work to be done

Business Outlook

Pros

The people are nice. There are a lot of great laughs. The company really tries to create a blended and fun culture. Benefits are great. Pay is reasonable/ fair.

Cons

There are a ton of meetings to discuss the same issues. There are a lot of duplicative roles or job responsibilities. The company believes it’s being transparent but being transparent means being crystal clear about what is happening - this isn’t the case. Position advancement seems to be based more on who likes you and not on who really deserves the promotion.
