Pros

Decent pay Benefits covered by company Systems are new and user friendly where a lot of the industry is still using DOS based programs

Cons

Hired remote & now expected in office 2x a week despite Nationalization team approach. --Teams scattered across country but in office is pushed heavily & strict Employee satisfaction is no longer a priority Heavy AI focus Upper departments do not communicate and leave for lower levels to "fix or figure it out". Slow to promote the deserving No proper progression plans No team bonding, holiday parties or anything social now with Nationalization. Unrealistic expectations Little training, and expectation to figure it out yourself despite not having tools to obtain the information needed Company used to have a better work/life balance and now less staff, more expectations and limitations on time off and work flows.
