Pros
A few genuinely nice folks to interact with daily. The monthly office allowance is great if you're an employee.
Cons
No training at all aside from homegrown documentation with no version kept scattered all over the network. When you start you're told to reach out to people to obtain your own training and onboarding into your new position and given a list of first names with no titles or contact info. Lots of last minute must-do projects pop up once you're on your own and if you're a part timer with an hours cap that pressures you to work and not claim the time. Management turnover is very high. I had 4 or 5 managers in just over a year and a half. Unfortunately the director who takes over during the frequent vacancies is very difficult to work for and with. Personal issues preside. Working at ML is much more emotion-based than logic or process-driven. Pressure to have company email on your smartphone as a part time employee with flexible hours is strong. Contractors wait months for payment and there are frequent payroll hiccups for employees as well. Being able to work from home is touted as the be-all end-all attraction to ML but quite frankly that's just not new any longer or tough to find. My background is working for corporations with global business models and documented process and procedures. This is so NOT that--if you're looking for a position where you are rewarded for your contributions with fact-based performance ratings keep up your job search.
