Pros

Company had a great atmosphere. Encouraged you to better yourself with goals in mind. Managers were understanding when you had to take time off.

Cons

Not all of the different departments worked very well with each other. This would decrease production and make work more difficult. The work was more difficult than the wages were worth.

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.
