Pros

Excellent firm culture; most people enjoy working together and achieving common goals; not too much of hierarchy, and easy to speak to these in decision-making positions; and overall, the people team is very good. There are also great benefits; volunteer opportunities; social events. There is gym. Always able to take time off when necessary.

Cons

Sometimes too much of unnecessary paper-pushing that delays getting work done. Red tape needs to be reduced to a reasonable level. Management does not always take the time to really know what the subordinates need. Important issues like advancement and growth need to be addressed in more detail. People sometime not sure what they will get from the job down the road.

Pros

Can’t think of 1. Not even 1.

Cons

Pay is the lowest compared to similar company with the same role. Upper management speaks to staff with a patronizing tone; cutting them off, and talking down to them. At times it felt like they purposefully were attempting to find things wrong instead of working together as a team to meet objectives. Understaffed. Fully expected to do the work of a team of 6 despite being a team of 2 for example.
