Pros

Standard methods, cloud infrastructure, and reliance on in house staff over contractors makes it very easy to implement safe, fast, consistent changes. You will be valued as a human and you will have a voice within this company. You can make a career here. Your coworkers and immediate leadership are all talented and intelligent individuals who actually know how to do the same work you are doing.

Cons

AI rollout and unevenly applied hybrid work made things difficult for employees with disabilities and those that lived far from office who had traditionally worked remote or for tasks that do not lend themselves well to AI overhead

Pros

The interview was good. It was with a young woman whom asked a lot of the basic information regarding being a project coordinator. The position was hybrid and I am currently wanting to remain Remote.

Cons

The position they were hiring for which i interviewed for was for a Project Coordinator and I am a Senior Project Coordinator and we could not get close on numbers. Also, I work 100% remotely and this position was going to have me onsite 3 days out of the week. I respectfully declined and she was very gracious.
