Business Outlook

Pros

There is a path for everyone! If you are an Instructional Designer, Business Analyst, Project Manager, Software Developer/Architect, etc; there is a place for you to be and grow in the organization. Even with the recent financial situation, the firm has a positive long-term outlook.

Cons

Being in a remote/virtual role is hard to interact with casual conversations. Be prepared to loose the few minutes before/after meetings for additional clarification. You will need to schedule time to talk to stakeholders or move the conversations to additional calls or online chat.

Business Outlook

Pros

True team environment, ownership and decision making pushed down to the actual doers, management involved in and open to making the team space a better place to work. Some recent improvement in career paths for technology workers. A lot of respect for our time and efforts.

Cons

High level product and project management approval and strategy is painfully slow, resulting in wasteful context switching and time wasted on non-strategic work while waiting for management to make a decision.
