Pros
- Direct manager and team-members are supportive - Flexible schedule which is great for work/life balance - Primarily able to work remotely; only need to go to the office 1-2 times a month - Comprehensive benefits - Internal emphasis on training and career development
Cons
- Pay beginning to lag - Perennial lack of resources - Even before the hiring freeze, recruitment could be very slow to post/process job postings - Constant need to increase growth metrics, regardless of how the company or overall industry is faring - Issues that were always present have become far more acute over the last year. In an attempt to cut down on bloat, upper management is requiring minutes of every meeting, ironically increasing bloat. Workloads are increasing rapidly as teams are shrunk by layoffs. Upper management shows lack of respect or consideration for essential management tasks, even as they become a larger portion of employees' roles.
