Pros

Let me start by saying that I’ve worked for a loooot of companies before moving to IS and most of my experiences were pretty bad. I’ve worked in companies where I had to deliver 4000 words PER DAY for a crummy salary, companies that would have me rewrite content that they explicitly asked for, or delayed my payments due to “unexpected, external factors”. I’ve also had to work overtime or weekend days to complete projects (I was also never paid for these hours). Getting hired at IS was a life-saver to me. Family time is very important to me. At the end of the day I just want to close my laptop and get back to my kids. I have NEVER had to work extra at this company. The salary never came late, and the bonuses were always appreciated. My managers know what optimized content looks like and they always give me the support I need to do the job well. Oh, I almost forgot to add that tasks are given weeks, sometimes months in advance. Thank God! Another great bonus is the freedom to create my own schedule when needed, so I can attend all the important events in my family life!

Cons

I’m just sad I didn’t find IS faster.

Pros

This is a fast moving, forward thinking company made up of great people, always learning, always growing, always figuring out new ways, better ways, good pay, great benefits, awesome campus and lots of fun and hard work.

Cons

Never enough time in the day to do all I want to do. I love the challenge. I have people who care about me and teach me new things all the time which I love, I just dont have enough hours in the day. I look up and the day is over.

Pros

The company is constantly expanding, adding new websites, new projects, and new clients. Business-wise this sounds amazing, but internally it is a constant struggle to scale-up, grow your people, and meet goals. I am incredibly grateful to have been chosen for a management position. The last three years, since I was appointed PM, have been immensely rewarding. I am leading an incredibly talented team and working on super interesting projects. When I go to bed at night I feel accomplished. I have passed the stage in my life when money was the top priority. Now I want to build my career up and create things that I will be proud of for the rest of my life. IS has made this dream possible with its continued support. Thank you!

Cons

I really feel the need to point out how stressful project management in IS can be. You are juggling with responsibilities, client expectations, and the needs of your team. Some decisions are hard to explain internally, while mistakes can be hard to swallow for clients. I feel like I am constantly walking on the edge of the precipice – one false move and your client get upset. I have shared my concerns with the management, especially since I know I am prone to anxiety, and they have been very supportive. I know growth is a great thing business-wise, but I just hope we could have more stability.
