Pros

The leadership team has changed quite a bit during my years at IV. What has not changed is the continued support and flexibility I have to do my job, take on new projects and learn new things. The company has introduced new programs that can be attended in person or virtually. Most people have roles that don't require being on site every day. I appreciate IV’s culture more than the larger technology companies at which I worked previously.

Cons

Smaller companies don't typically have the same long term career opportunities as working at a larger company.
