Pros

Fairly stable company and ok benefits.Good place to get experience and perform a variety of roles, which, makes you attractive for other companies.

Cons

Was a better company before it went public and employees were treated better. Employees used to be more creative and entrepreneurial and that was a result of environment. New environment is more corporate and a slave to the stockholders Today leadership doesn't seem to be accountable for poor results and they are all over the Map. Instead they re org and protect jobs. I have seen the best employees leave and thrive and decent less talented folks stay. Company is moving forward with a ton of changes and none seem to make the employees comfortable, therefore more including me will leave. I think company stock performance will decline as a result of being unable to keep high performers.

Pros

Current Leadership: The management structure has stabilized significantly, and my current supervisor is excellent—supportive, engaged, and great to work with. Excellent Team Culture: The coworkers here are fantastic. There is a strong sense of camaraderie, and the team is incredibly supportive. Strong Compensation & Growth: The base pay is competitive and fair, and there is excellent opportunity for extra pay and overtime. From a professional development standpoint, I have learned an immense amount in my field over the past year. Enjoyable Travel: Excellent opportunities for work-related travel that adds great variety to the day-to-day routine.

Cons

Management Inconsistency Early On: My first supervisor took zero interest in team well-being, or development and the second had significant temperament issues that ultimately led to their departure. While it has been resolved now, Apparently management here like a lot of places is hit and miss. Heavy Workload: The workload can feel a bit overwhelming and intense at times. Striking a consistent work-life balance remains a challenge under the current demands. Role Expectation Mismatch: Some of the technical responsibilities and projects I have handled since joining were not clearly outlined or explained during the interview process. Navigating these unstated expectations alongside an already heavy workload has been a significant challenge.
