Pros

Flexibility, great work/life balance, diverse leadership at CAI only.

Cons

Super low pay as a lead so low I can barely afford rent. The recent structure changes made within CAI have been detrimental. Initially, I decided to come on as a new employee because I loved CAI’s mission but now I cannot foresee a positive outcome in the future. The HR person assigned to my team is condescending, unsupportive, and quite frankly a rude liar. I’ve dealt with micro aggression from a select few within CAI and with the client I work with. The client associates are underhanded and leadership seriously lacks diversity. The client does not appreciate authenticity, diversity, or difference which could benefit them greatly with their high turn over. Within CAI there is minimal organization and a lot of pushback when new ideas or suggestions are presented. No PTO offered for hourly employees and there’s no plan in place for career advancement.

Pros

- Opportunity to work on interesting, high-impact projects. - Flexible work environment that supports work/life balance. - Many talented and knowledgeable colleagues across the organization.

Cons

- Leadership dynamics can feel misaligned, particularly when less experienced teams are driving decisions that impact more tenured professionals. - Career growth feels unclear and, at times, unattainable without the "right" visibility or relationships. - Cross-functional friction is common, and navigating disagreement does not always feel supported or safe. - Compensation and advancement do not consistently reflect market expectations or individual contributions. - Organizational priorities can feel disconnected from the day-to-day experience of employees.
