Pros
Hours are consistent and no expectations of working late or weekends. Cafe food is decent and cafe staff are kind. Small gym on site is nice and kept clean. Office is pretty quiet and easy to focus in.
Cons
No on-site support roles like HR or IT, and leadership does not care about your success. Constantly pushed on schedule and scope of projects but they are unwilling to hire the correct amount of staff to meet the goals. Actively hostile towards women and queer people coming from both leadership and staff. Little to no room for growth, and no career development plans. No training plans for new hires, you are expected to just pick things up without any documentation. Extremely low diversity for women and minorities. High turnover rate across the board. Projects are usually single threaded where one absence can derail a whole schedule. “Small team” means there’s one person doing the job. Leadership refuses to take accountability for all the above issues as long as the profit margins are good.
