Pros

I enjoyed working there until a change in management sparked my interest to look elsewhere.

Cons

The new CEO made some questionable changes that burned our amazing culture to the ground. A majority of the team left because we decided a toxic environment was no longer worth it. I can guarantee you it wasn't because of "The Great Resignation". There are countless of "under the table" practices happening in this department now and cronyism is a big one. Sneaky offline conversations and intentions to not leave a trail in writing are typical practices within. HR will have you fill out an exit survey but if it doesn't preach how great the workplace was, chances are it may or may not get in front of who really needs to see it.

Pros

Some of the best people I've ever worked with. Everyone is willing to help each other achieve the overall goal. Management is completely understanding and doesn't give off that "corporate feel." Work can sometimes be repetitive but ultimately, it's stimulating enough.

Cons

I think everyone would prefer more PTO/Vacation days. I would like to see a split vacation/sick bank for PTO, but I know it's industry standard to combine the two.

Pros

Good Training Opportunities, great coworkers, good work life balance

Cons

Engineering given more attention than planning and other groups. Can be top heavy so middle management does not delegate work and junior staff in multiple cases has taken PTO when work was not available. Some departments have higher workloads than others. Delegation of work is routinely mismanaged.
