- there is no firmwide organizational structure for project management, so its easy for tasks to get lost as you have to essentially create and maintain your own asana - no bonuses - time tracking is cumbersome - the pay days are strange (9th and 26th of the month)

Pros

M+R is a wonderful place to work. The union benefits are world class, truly. The work is meaningful, coworkers are lovely and competent, and even when I disagree with decisions made by leadership I can tell that these choices come from a place of thoughtful consideration and a desire to do the right thing.

Cons

The biggest cons are that the current workload exceeds our 36 hour workweek, leading to regularly accruing flex time that people struggle to take. M+R generally has a really strong feedback culture, to the point where it can prevent honest conversations for fear that it will negatively impact colleagues growth. It can also be exhausting when you get close to a promotion and you have to have constant conversations about performance and growth until all stakeholders are on board, while also hoping company needs justify the promotion.
