Pros

Nice new facility. Perks such as free, on-site gym with classes, free fountain drinks and on-site cafeteria.

Cons

No room for growth within my division. Trying to apply for a position outside the department is highly frowned upon. I did this once and my manager was very upset of my doing this, however, since I didn't get the position, nothing has been done to change my current role. I have spoken many times of how I am looking for greater challenges in my work responsibilities, but it falls on deaf ears.

Pros

Great work-life balance as a remote employee. Management is approachable and genuinely willing to help when it comes to workload — you never feel like you're on your own.

Cons

Mentorship is largely self-driven. if you don't seek it out yourself, it won't come to you. Systems and internal processes can be slow and tedious, which adds friction to an already fast-paced workload. Compensation does not reflect the complexity or volume of work expected. High performers who are ready for the next step would benefit from clearer, more proactive promotion paths. When that structure is missing, talented people disengage quietly long before they ever leave.
