Pros

-The people at Hanover are some of the nicest and most intelligent colleagues I have ever worked with at any organization. They are genuinely friendly and eager to help, and I have made some lasting friendships here. -There is opportunity for promotion and upward growth, regardless of the title you start at. -Hanover has adopted a permanent, flexible WFH policy following the pandemic, but also allows people to go into the office if it is their preference (note that this really is a preference, and remote workers are not discriminated against or pressured to return to the office).

Cons

-Hanover insists that it compensates its people fairly according to market rate. However, turnover is high every year and when people move on to new jobs with a 50-80% pay increase, it is hard to believe the company spiel about fair pay. The benefit is that Hanover teaches you a lot, so you can easily leverage your position here into a higher-paying role if you stick around for just a year or two. -Workload is heavy. Again, when former colleagues move onto new jobs and get paid more for less work, it is hard to believe the company line that they are staffed appropriately. -Retention is a problem, and training new people is time-consuming and uses up a lot of bandwidth of those who remain.
