Do what we say, not what we do...
Pros
Reasonable Work From Home options Diversity and Inclusion seems to be their goal within the workplace Compensation/benefits are really good. Core values seems good. Collaborative spirit, helpful colleagues, "in it together" attitude of most coworkers.
Cons
Stated values and follow-through on them are sometimes a hit/miss: "We want you to succeed." but on your own time. eg: "Drop what you're doing (project A) and do this other project (project B)... " "What's your status on Project A? What?! Why aren't you done with that yet?!" Well, Project B. "No, you should be done with Project A before B..." But you said to drop everything and do project B... "No no no, you need to finish Project A now. Well, we'll have to notify the stakeholders of this delay..." Do more with less Time- Unreasonable expectations on project completion and then a subtle blame game afterwards. Too much work, not enough people- I supported well over 20 different applications, often being asked to become the SME over a weekend. Even with overseas consultants, the amount of work was simply too much. Too many current applications susceptible to outages due to time-line focus vs quality - it's an amazing applications (when it works...) Siloed teams, with a vague awareness of other teams working other applications: Effective Communication is lacking (between projects and project teams)
