Pros

A great place to work if you have a great leader.

Cons

Your manager determines: Your mental health Your promotions Your career goals Your work-life balance Your best interests During the interview process I met with my manager, and we had great connection. Shortly after starting my manager was changed and I received a toxic manager who not only demoted my career but my physical, emotional and mental health. Human resources did not provide any support when asked, everything is determined by your leader.
