Pros

They trust their employees fully and do not micro-manage. Individuals are empowered to make informed business decisions on their own. At the same time, team work is encouraged and is fostered with team building exercises- this helps create good morale and trust within the team. While traveling, they make sure we are comfortable and don't skimp on expenses. The company also believes in providing a comfortable work atmosphere with amenities that other companies don't typically provide.

Cons

Employees are expected to manage very heavy workloads. There are a lot of internal reports/metrics/internal responsibilities that have to be managed, in addition to managing the external customers. The Project Manager is responsible for managing the deliverables of the company's other departments, but has no influence over those departments to enact change. Perception, politics, and personality are the primary basis for evaluating an employee's effectiveness, the same as or even more than the individual's actual job performance. Contractors are treated as second-class citizens to direct employees in some aspects.

Pros

Great place to work. Although there has been a lot of change over the past few years, I feel the company is back on track. Culture has been dramatically improved.

Cons

Not much at this time. Still lots of change ahead though as the company transforms into a tower focused company.

Pros

Depending on who is running your team (I’ve had 3 different team leads in the 3 years that I’ve been a full time employee,) some have provided great mentoring, and have taught me a lot.

Cons

Job security is extremely unstable, and employees often feel like they are one decision away from becoming part of another layoff statistic. In my experience, women were not always treated equitably compared to their male counterparts, depending heavily on the leadership structure within the department. The company also showed limited willingness to accommodate health conditions, often searching for loopholes to minimize support, assistance, or benefits during times when employees and their families needed them most. Leadership roles often felt transactional and tied directly to the company’s immediate operational goals. For example, when a department needed growth, leadership would bring in individuals with strong industry relationships, connections, and expertise to help expand profitability and establish the department. However, once those goals were achieved and the leader’s network or strategic value had been fully utilized, the company would frequently move on from them—either through reassignment or termination—in favor of the next person who fit the company’s evolving objectives. Overall, the culture created an environment where many employees felt expendable rather than valued long-term.
