Pros

Lots of talented and amazing people. The culture ha shifted since the bad reviews of 2019. Employees feel more valued and are more involved. Micromanagement has gone away. Salaries are competitive and the benefits are very good. Turnover is substantially lower.

Cons

It is a small organization so the opportunities for growth are limited. The company is willing to invest in employees, but employees need to take some initiative and want to improve their skills and training.
