Pros

Great benefits. Everything available to succeed. Learning Organization.

Cons

Must be able to work through ambiguity. Must have high EQ to navigate different expectations, personalities and conflicting priorities. Our best leaders are courted by other companies so there is sometimes a lot of turn over.

Pros

The work is meaningful and overall the company vision aligns with my goals

Cons

QA management has become inept. None of the leadership (aside from maybe one or two) truly understand the nuances of our site and jobs. They refuse to pay you more due to "budget" reasons but won't provide much information, they claim to be transparent but will make decisions behind your back and not communicate them, even if they impact you and/or your job. Leadership doesn't listen to feedback and gets defensive if you even try to give any. It honestly has become a game of politics only in QA and that's not really building any real quality culture.
