Pros
* Cedrus has a generous work from home policy (generally 1-2 days / week) * Company culture is among the best you can find in this space. Management encourages (optional) happy hours and group activities on a regular basis. * Coworkers are all very smart, motivated and collaborative * In my experience, if this is your first professional job in the tech world, you will learn more at Cedrus in a year than you would at most places in 3-5 * Multiple Fortune 100 company clients to work with * Work-life balance is good. Putting extra effort in on certifications/extra projects is generally rewarded with additional compensation/recognition. * Non-competitive work environment. You feel like coworkers have your back * Many ongoing projects allow a variety of technologies and tools to be used. Often times you are working with the latest and greatest. * Transparency within all hierarchies of the company. * CEO/VPs/Partners are all approachable and welcome conversation/discussions. * If you are a self motivated individual, you will rise. * Little to no traveling in my experience * Company management is receptive to feedback * Benefits are available
Cons
* Health/Dental/Vision insurance is covered partially * You might not always work on a project that 100% aligns with what you want to be doing but always a good learning experience * Can feel uncertain about career progression in the company at times * Work can be stressful at times due to deadlines (normal for this type of job) * Total compensation starts lower than the average for NYC (but there are periodical reviews and adjustment is possible)
