Pros

- Company was accommodative to offer remote work. - Accommodative for work reimbursement.

Cons

- Did not support learning programs to advance in career choices within the company after stating they would support further education. - Very apparent indecisive and ill-advised planning with upper management, which led to multiple failed product launches. - An example of one their failed leadership was highlighted by cutting a program that had very high potentials for market capitalization in late 2019. Our beta product was gaining tremendous traction with consumers and more so with institutions indicating a high growth within the area. But it wasn't enough to convince upper management. Towards the end of 2021, they announced that after careful research and consideration, the program they found (with they're newly staff of market researchers) was indeed the program they had shutdown back in late 2019. - Little room for growth within the company unless you're in tech.
