Pros

Flexible work hours. Left to work independently with minimal supervision. Stocked company fridge, snacks, and an amazing Starbucks-style coffee machine.

Cons

A lot of bureaucracy for a mid-sized company. Upper management takes a very long time to approve projects, so there were times I had nothing to do.

Pros

The company culture is fairly strong, morale is generally high amongst employees. Turnover rates within the organization have dropped to a more normal range for an organization of this size. Several newer managers, both from outside the organization and from within, has helped bring together some departments that were struggling due to a period of mismanagement (most of 2017). The organization is progressing in its development of new software fairly rapidly, which is causing some (positive) growing pains, and challenges to overcome. Management is lenient with schedules, working around family needs, and appointments. They seem to understand that the office is located within a city that makes commutes tough to predict. The shared kitchen is large and generally well stocked (though some more healthy snacks maybe?)

Cons

There still exists a somewhat Us vs. Them attitude between management in various departments. In many cases management is simply too busy because they make themselves busy by micromanaging tasks. A few managers have disrespectful attitudes when dealing with others, though this is the exception, not the rule. The organization lacks confidence in itself as an employer, and tries to manipulate its online profile dishonestly with fake posts and reviews - which is disappointing and unnecessary. The company goes through periodic episodes of bad management decisions.
