Pros

Once the organization offered a well-recognized name, stable work, reasonable pay, and solid benefits (including health insurance and a decent—though not exceptional—vacation package).

Cons

Unfortunately, that stability has disappeared. The company was first shaken by reduced government funding and later by a series of poor leadership decisions. In recent years, its vision has become increasingly disconnected from reality. Roles are often filled by individuals who are not fully qualified or the right fit, while highly skilled employees have been laid off through multiple rounds of cuts. This has caused morale and motivation across teams to drop significantly. The organization no longer feels aligned with the values it promotes, and its overall direction is unclear.

Pros

the strong company culture and the engaging day-to-day tasks that kept work interesting and rewarding. The team environment was supportive and collaborative, making it a great place to grow professionally.

Cons

One area for improvement would be the compensation, which could be more competitive given the level of responsibility and contribution expected.
