Pros

> This was my first job, and I'm proud to say this was my first. > Numerous benefits, great start for fresh graduates. > Bosses that act as leaders and enablers to push you towards success. They make you feel comfortable, value your worth as an employee, and treat you like family. > Colleagues both Juniors/Seniors who treat you respectfully, value your time and opinion, and help you whenever you need urgent assistance. > Great workplace environment both on-site and remote. > Lots of opportunities for career growth and development.

Cons

> After working for 4 years, the compensation remained in the low range with only a few increases here and there. > Accurate and up-to-date training materials are still hard to come by despite their innovations in adding tools and other documentation to simplify work. Still, there is a need for more training materials on specific topics or lessons that are specific to a certain type of task. Most of the time, we just ask senior resources for help a the fastest way, but it becomes a struggle when a resource leaves the company and doesn't leave any notes or documentation. > They had this slow shift of merging roles into one (end-to-end) since 2019 to keep up with the changes and advancement in the data information scene, basically what was once 5 or more roles are now rolled into one. You're the Analyst, Developer, QA, Integrator, and Enabler in the new "Consultant" role. > Since the introduction and implementation of the end-to-end policy, many employees have struggled to keep up with the pace especially those who got hired initially to a single role. More noticeably the newly hired or less tenured resources cause them to eventually leave or worse get hit by attrition later on. > I've heard rumors that other teams or departments are not that lenient and considerate when it comes to remote work arrangements which created a rift between the team managers and upper management. > Not much of a con but if you're not into end-to-end EDI (similar to a full stack developer) with a side of administrative tasks outside of your original role, you might struggle a bit with the pacing of work and learning new skills relevant to the role you're hired.

Big Talk, Not a Lot of Substance

Pros

Great options for working remotely. Starting salary for someone coming in from the outside is pretty good compared to the competition. Work really does end at 5 pm or soon thereafter.

Cons

OT loves to talk about how much they care about their employees and making the world a better place, but it's mainly lipservice. Among many examples, one is being told that the company isn't great about bonuses/financial incentives but that jobs are secure. That's no longer true.
