Pros

Pretty good benefits and schedule flexibility

Cons

Company seems to be using attrition to drive down IT costs, which means that every time someone leaves, existing positions get more complicated & have more responsibilities. Even mid-level managers are being squeezed and don't have the time they should have to devote to employee interactions. To offset the staffing reduction, they have offshored some positions, justifying it by saying it keeps them from having to hire people now that they will need to lay off later.

Pros

Generous PTO and good overall benefits package. Community stewardship.

Cons

High stress and an unmanageable workload with poor work-life balance. Management expected to be available during PTO and holidays. There's no clear career progression framework, no transparency about salary ranges for each position, and promotions are applied inconsistently and unfairly.
