Pros

This is such a diverse and inclusive place to work - we even have an engagement lead who makes sure all of our activities and events are managed well. My colleagues are talented and I learn a lot from them - although it would have been nice to see more people in our office. We have the opportunity to work from home and from the office as we please which is the right flexibility for me. Our Leadership Team is transparent and very engaging and they have taken us all on an amazing journey. Our CEO is taking time to speak to all of us and he is approachable and a GREAT listener. I'm so happy I decided to join at the right time where so many things are happening - our future looks promising.

Cons

A few of my own peers and colleagues have a hard time to adjust to our new structures and ways of working. It makes me sad that some of them have provocative comments during company meetings - it's not good for morale and I hope they will decide to leave instead of making us listen to all their whining and gossiping. It's really not nice to hear them being so negative.
