Pros

Great pay, good benefits, pretty logo

Cons

I have never in my life been through a work experience like this. I wasn’t there very long and they put me on a development plan based on 30 days of performance. I was being scapegoated by a coworker that was also sabotaging me. I tried telling my boss but it was hard because I was so new. They make you watch over 25 videos in your first month of employment. My evaluation was based on my first 60 days half of which were these videos. It was supposed to be a 90 day review but they ignored the last 30 days which were the best ones in my time there (obviously due to more familiarity of the systems). They, expect you to be full speed on day 31. If you’re not then you get put on a development plan. My boss’ boss accused me of not doing something and I had the email proof that my boss’ boss asked me not to do it!!! It didn’t matter, they still wrote me up. They even threatened me that the vice president was aware of the situation. I have never in my life been written up at any job! I’m grateful that I got a better job and I will never go back ever again for anything! Beware. They are very disorganized and no one knows anything, not even basic answers that you would expect a manager or HR to know. Always a goose chase to find anything out.

Pros

People, Mission, Culture, Technology, Remote. You work on projects and technologies that actually impact and improves the day to day lives of people around you, the community and the Country

Cons

Pay, No much room for upward mobility. If you are a high performer, you'll struggle as the structure rewards years spent in the company vs level of expertise or experience.
