      Supportive culture with growth opportunities, but slow systems

      Pros

      The biggest pros for me are the people and the opportunities for growth. The culture is very team-oriented, and there’s a genuine willingness to support one another and see each other succeed. I also appreciate that the company is open to trying new approaches and evolving how we work, which creates meaningful opportunities to learn, take on new challenges, and continue developing professionally.

      Cons

      One area for improvement would be system modernization, as updates and enhancements can be slow and sometimes create inefficiencies in day-to-day work. Additionally, communication across departments during issues or changes could be more consistent and timely to ensure teams are fully informed and able to respond effectively.
