Pros

easygoing colleagues- you are heard when you voice an idea or concern-management can be overwhelmed with high turnover rates -flex time is available if needed without having to jump through hoops

Cons

Minimal pay increases despite strong work performance and ethics- hours can be long and time alone in a department is a constant then you are bombarded on the weekends

Pros

I have a very empathetic and flexible manager. Although I do meet the requirement to be in office three days a week many others do not and don’t seem to suffer for it. My work can be challenging at times, but due to the slow pace of most things here I rarely feel overwhelmed.

Cons

This is, without equivocation, the most sclerotic organization I have ever been a part of. The management structure and reporting lines are inscrutable and even after 3 years I barely understand how my team fits into the larger picture. My job is a data role, and although getting access to data has improved somewhat, it is still one of my biggest blockers.
