Pros

Patient driven Great perks and benefits Innovative Fun and unique culture with patient driven contributors.

Cons

The organization has moved to contract positions which creates less opportunity for permanent employees to develop or make lateral moves. Poor mid level management that prevent employees from growing unless you play the political game. If you play the political game then you will get promoted. Mid level management also focuses on training you to be a certain way rather than being yourself and focusing on your strengths.

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.
