Pros
- Great people. Almost everyone I’ve worked with was wonderful. - Pay is good. Not great, but good. - I’ve been able to grow. From gaining responsibility, to taking steps forward in new roles. There’s a lot of opportunities internally, if you network, work hard and pursue, you’ll work your way up. - I felt a sense of purpose with the work I was apart of. It had direct impact to the business as a whole. - I felt they had a good 401k match (up to 5%) - Good continuing education. Whether it was money towards what you wanted to do, or they offered it via the intranet/learning systems.
Cons
- Not many. But unfortunately, one big enough that drove me out: FOW (future of work) - Future of work was a sr leadership power trip which forced almost every employee back into the office. Even if you had been remote for 10+ years. Even if you were hired as a remote employee, they overturned that and you’re going in. - I was told I’d be someone who needed to be in office more than half my time. Which meant going into the office to sit at a cubical, by myself, with none of my team in the same building (considering we were all hired as remote employees and were scattered across the US) - what purpose did this serve you may ask? There wasn’t one. It was uncalled for and counterproductive. - Leaderships decisions and forceful actions around work locations drove me to leave the company. - Work life balance depends on your team/manager/org. I’ve been worked hard in some roles and been more laidback on others. Not really a con, just fyi.
