Pros

Good colleagues, who were smart and wanted to make an impact.

Cons

Leadership, who doesn’t allow that impact to be made and dictates what can and can’t be done. My mental health plummeted as an employee as I was asked to do the work of many people while leadership didn’t care about seeing the results of my work. Any discussion about personal growth or development was put off and ignored. Excuses were made for leadership on the decisions that they were making. Diversity and inclusion isn’t a topic of discussion and when brought up as a problem, it is said that it’s priority but continues to be ignored.

Pros

I loved my co-workers. Everyone was super helpful and a lot of people were friendly. I enjoyed hanging out with them during lunch hour. People thought very highly of the management. I had a boss that really cared about me personally and was fair but kind. The company also valued personal development and gave time to learn new skills and build side projects for the company.

Cons

I did not find it meaningful to work on software that was helping big corporations.
