Pros

• Great opportunity to learn and grow professionally. • Worked on a wide variety of interesting projects. • Many knowledgeable and supportive coworkers. • Strong place to build technical and project management experience. • I was able to advance my career and take on increasing responsibilities over my 11 years.

Cons

• Communication between departments often felt siloed. • Leadership could be more transparent about company decisions and policy changes. • More mentorship and support for project managers would be beneficial. • In my experience, opportunities for advancement did not always feel based solely on performance, and personal relationships sometimes appeared to carry significant influence. • Remote employees would benefit from more consistent treatment and clearer expectations. • Management styles varied significantly between departments, which led to inconsistent employee experiences. • Administrative tasks often took priority over developing project management and leadership skills.
