Pros

Healthy working environment, thought it varies across departments. Hybrid work structure allows for some flexibility with work and life balance. Work is meaningful and directly impactful.

Cons

At times hectic and leadership styles and effectiveness can vary from department to department. The organization is often understaffed and either work slows or staff take on some extra responsibilities. Not much opportunities for promotions.
