Pros

Work/life balance is top notch Self-managing for the most part Telework Salary is on par with industry Pay raises have been substantial (3-6% every year) People are great 401k is decent (100% of first 3%, 50% of 4-5%) Stock purchase plan

Cons

The health insurance is really bad. There are two options through Blue Cross: Advantage or Essential. For the Advantage Plan, deductibles are $1,350 (individual) and $2,700 (family); out of pocket max are $3,000 (individual) and $6,000 (family). Premium for family is over $600 a month... For the Essential Plan, deductibles are $2,000 and $4,000, out of pocket is $6,000 and $12,000. Premium for family is around $400... I will be exploring other options once 2019 enrollment opens.

Pros

Current Leadership: The management structure has stabilized significantly, and my current supervisor is excellent—supportive, engaged, and great to work with. Excellent Team Culture: The coworkers here are fantastic. There is a strong sense of camaraderie, and the team is incredibly supportive. Strong Compensation & Growth: The base pay is competitive and fair, and there is excellent opportunity for extra pay and overtime. From a professional development standpoint, I have learned an immense amount in my field over the past year. Enjoyable Travel: Excellent opportunities for work-related travel that adds great variety to the day-to-day routine.

Cons

Management Inconsistency Early On: My first supervisor took zero interest in team well-being, or development and the second had significant temperament issues that ultimately led to their departure. While it has been resolved now, Apparently management here like a lot of places is hit and miss. Heavy Workload: The workload can feel a bit overwhelming and intense at times. Striking a consistent work-life balance remains a challenge under the current demands. Role Expectation Mismatch: Some of the technical responsibilities and projects I have handled since joining were not clearly outlined or explained during the interview process. Navigating these unstated expectations alongside an already heavy workload has been a significant challenge.
