Pros

I’ve been here for 2 years and have had a level change and a transfer within my own team. There are all sorts of exciting projects to work on and opportunities to learn while the company continues to grow and innovate. My team and leadership have been great about making sure good work is credited and recognizing everyone’s contributions. Additionally, I feel safe and supported during the pandemic - knowing that our company was able to pivot from minimal WFH to full time WFH when safety was in question makes me confident that our leadership puts people first.

Cons

Changing priorities and timelines from both an executive and cross functional level make planning difficult. Once leadership decides something is a priority, there is huge pressure to get the work done as fast as possible (not necessarily the best work possible). When something isn’t a leadership priority, it gets pushed off to the point of being difficult to address.

Pros

Having completed my first three months as a Senior Engineering Manager, my experience has been very positive so far. Excellent Culture: The organization fosters a collaborative, inclusive, and supportive culture where people are encouraged to share ideas, challenge assumptions, and work together toward common goals. Leadership is approachable, and there is a strong focus on transparency and continuous improvement. Great Team: I have had the opportunity to work with a highly talented, knowledgeable, and supportive team. Everyone is willing to help, share expertise, and contribute to collective success, making onboarding and collaboration seamless. Technology-Forward and Innovation-Driven, The company embraces modern technologies and remains technology-agnostic, selecting the best tools and platforms for the problem at hand rather than being tied to specific vendors. The organization is proactive in exploring emerging technologies, including cloud, platform engineering, and AI, which creates an exciting environment for learning and innovation. Overall, my first three months have reinforced that this is a great place to grow professionally while working on meaningful and technically challenging initiatives.

Cons

The hybrid work model requires employees to be in the office three days per week, which may not suit everyone. However, I personally appreciate the opportunity to collaborate face-to-face, build relationships, and connect with colleagues. Combined with the office perks and supportive environment, I do not currently have any major cons to report.
