Pros

- Most of your coworkers will become some of your greatest friends. Group lunches, happy hours, after-work yoga, and weekend get-together make for a tight knit group -Advice and honest critique is available throughout the office, even at the director level -Free 24/7 downtown parking near several great bars and restaurants

Cons

-While most members of upper management are excellent to chat with for advice over lunch or talk about the game last night, NO transparency regarding your job status is provided. Myself and at least five others were promised a transition from temp to full-time hire at the program’s start. It turns out this was simply a hiring allure. At the conclusion of the temp period, management remained vague regarding our job statuses before revealing they had no headcount to fit us. Another coworker of mine accepted a promotion to another area of the firm before the offer was pulled by the manager due to once again, “lack of headcount” -Too many repetitive tasks that are either unnecessary or can be easily expedited -Management will pick favorites and promote as such -Low pay compared to industry average.

Pros

Remote work culture Is excellent, innovative tech, company's growth and opportunities to protect clients. Felt fortunate to have worked for this organization that has a strong growth tragectoruy and protects clients.

Cons

Manager/Director level: Poor communication from team manager/director, with little to no direction and the lack of team morale. Team members were on their own after training and most meetings could've been an email. The presence of the director was the equivalent of a virtual bulletin board. No ownership was taken from management to lead or guide the team and no sense of loyalty exists between management and team members. Good talent was squandered due to complacency and lack of direction. Company: Con for the company is the unfortunate lay offs that happened after leaving the company. It's a shame they laid off veterans from my former team. The writing on the wall was apparent, from outsourced new hires to the non-competitive compensation for newer hires. The company went from a fun and competitive start up to a disconnected company trying to emulate tech industry trends and "balances the budget" AKA lay offs, to look good to share holders. For a company that nets huge profits year after year, layoffs shouldn't be part of the reality.
