Pros

The company is filled with talented people and on a personal level all great to associate with. Remote positions are great and allows for flexibility in your day-to-day. Be responsible and open about obligations and you should be OK.

Cons

If you miss high school, DataBank IMX might be the place for you. You've got the various clubs - drama, band, science, etc. which are siloed departments. There is little awareness on where or how things are going unless you're part of the 'in crowd'. You know you're part of the 'in crowd' by the peer recognition system or 'Kudos' given on the one of the company's Slack channels. To be fair, everyone joins in with reactions/emojis but the cheerleading comments are reminiscent of the various cliques in high school. And I've gotten my fair share of kudos. Stressful - There are a ton of unsaid expectations of the employee base which can make for a stressful environment. Majority of projects never meet timelines which can lead to burnout of employees. Comp time is available but rarely ever given unless you ask for it or are part of the 'in crowd'. Unrealistic - Project timelines are unrealistic to say the least. We live in a world of CO's. The vicious cycle breeds that stressful environment. Egotistical - Middle tier leadership expects obedience and tries to form a blockade from senor/executive management. Those with innovative ideas usually receive no credit as the ideas are funneled upwards and the messenger is regarded as brain child. Disconnected - With everything mentioned above, one may be able to recognize the disconnects. Tenured employees like myself have tried to bridge the gaps but the resistance is strong. It's by design and has been that way for years. One has to wonder what is the intent of leadership and what does that say about their skills.
