Pros

Pay and benefits were great

Cons

Where to start... no structure AT ALL. Very mismanaged at every level. Daily meetings to discuss "what you did yesterday and what you are doing today". Project managers for the project managers for the project managers. Couldn't get answers to DAY 1 questions for my role. Literally had meetings with people who said they had no idea what was going on within the contract. Never saw a Org. chart. Micro-managed at the top and what I described as "elementary school role-call" at meetings... where you have to say "Yes, Im here on the call". Treat employees like bad untrustworthy kids. Overall bad.

Pros

Very compassionate leadership from my direct supervisor, genuinely cared about our wellbeing. Also generous benefits.

Cons

Not a lot of interactions from the actual organization, so it's leadership dependent.

Pros

You'll have a lot of opportunities to learn as much as you want about tech, you'll also get to interact with all levels of management and might even become friends with some of them, environment is mostly friendly and supportive, pay is very good

Cons

Work-life balance sucks (very long work hours always), project-planning sucks, turnover rate is getting back to being high, communicating with some managers can be difficult and you have to be very good with reading between the lines, because the impression you make here matters a lot: you can't just be an introvert only about work here, you actually have to be likable to last here longer than just a few months. Also their promotion system is not clear, so if you're doing a good job at work don't set your hopes high.
