Offers a good work-life balance, with reasonable hours and respect for personal time. The team is composed of kind and supportive co-workers ... a collaborative environment. The work feels meaningful and not very stressful.

Cons

The pay is relatively low compared to industry standards, and the location is inconvenient. Job security is also a concern, as there have been regular layoffs that create uncertainty among employees.

Pros

Good parking lot, nice people, free tap water.

Cons

CEO likes for work on weekends, so as a result all leadership works weekends. CEO and CFO seem to be obsessed with ES&G and as a result odd decisions are made with respect to hiring and retention.
