Pros

Fun team to work with, everyone was collaborative and easy to talk to.

Cons

The organization as a whole is poorly run. They’re constantly pushing leadership out and bringing in new people. They’re higher ups get paid a ridiculous amount, but you ask for a promotion or raise and they say there’s no budget. They also used to lay people off the 3rd Thursday of every month and it was a constant worry.

Pros

Good Joinin Pay. Flexible Work hours and PTO

Cons

Micromanagement, merit based hike is bare minimum year over year. You may feel stuck at a point. No support from management, evryone's for themselves. All your hard work is shadowed and hike is on the mercy of line managers. They would only push you if at all it benefits them a wholesome. Higher management only knows you if are a good pawn at the disposal and lick any and every thing forced.
