Pros

Flexible hours, decent pay, decent benefits, great staff and faculty. decent opportunity to work in tech spaces in Maine as a growing hub of start-ups and entrepreneurs.

Cons

Not a great company to work for as a woman or person of color, stemming from executive leadership. Poor hiring choices made with major red-flag conflicts of interest that promote the benefit of executive leadership. A really damaging top-down approach and disrespectful of women in the workplace. Scheduling meetings times outside of office hours, loading work onto women's plates which further puts women at a disadvantage in the tech space. Appalling misconduct and lack of accountability from executive leadership. Taking credit for successful work of women and people of color without noting the accomplishments of the team that conducted the work. Highly unethical and toxic work environment. Several mass exoduses over 1-2 years with unpromising results.

Pros

Flexible work schedule. Great and kind staff to work with. My team is wonderful

Cons

Salary not competing with inflation and is not competitive especially for the Boston area. On my salary I cannot afford to live close to my work. The "merit" increases this year were laughable - not competing with inflation nor cost of living.
