Pros

this is the first place i feel comfortable bringing my whole self to work, after a string of job where i could never do that. i was really surprised and impressed when our management team meeting after the BLM uprising was devoted to processing and sharing our feelings. this is a really awesome group of folx. with all the problems in the world, it's pretty great to spend my days supportinig lgbtqia+ youth.

Cons

i really hope we can get back to the office soon. i miss everyone and it can be tough working alone at home. i hope we can do more virtual social events too. i'm into the coffee chats and love getting to know new folks, but would like more.
