Pros

IHE might be a smaller organization in terms of employee count but this enables each employee to see their work have an impact against the company's unified goals! We all know each other and have regular conversations with leadership. The company is very transparent compared to other firms I have worked for. IHE is a recognized and respected organization. We can take pride in the work we do as an organization and the impact we have on the education community! The company offers amazing healthcare benefits compared to my previous organizations!

Cons

- Limited headcount can lead to heavy workloads or multiple hats - Slow but *improving* change in culture (Requires employee buy-in)
