Pros

The work you're doing will absolutely change the world for the better. You know you are helping your clients are doing great work. Great benefits.

Cons

Zero work-life balance and heavy workload across all levels. No training, onboarding or shadowing system in place, nor regular check-ins for new staff. Leadership gives up on lower-level staff quickly if they do not perform perfectly the first go-round. Very steep learning curve with little support. Poor communication from top-down. No expectations set at the front-end of employment. They promote a "work hard, play hard" culture, but there really is no "play hard." I would rather work for a non-profit.

Pros

M+R is a wonderful place to work. The union benefits are world class, truly. The work is meaningful, coworkers are lovely and competent, and even when I disagree with decisions made by leadership I can tell that these choices come from a place of thoughtful consideration and a desire to do the right thing.

Cons

The biggest cons are that the current workload exceeds our 36 hour workweek, leading to regularly accruing flex time that people struggle to take. M+R generally has a really strong feedback culture, to the point where it can prevent honest conversations for fear that it will negatively impact colleagues growth. It can also be exhausting when you get close to a promotion and you have to have constant conversations about performance and growth until all stakeholders are on board, while also hoping company needs justify the promotion.
