Pros
* Given a learning budget, and there is a genuine expectation that it is used and time is set aside for professional development * No blame culture * Autonomy - whether it is on volunteering opportunities, how you handle your work load, within epic planning * Friendly co-workers * Steps being taken to make a clear pathway to your career goal, whether it is down the Line Management path or as an Individual Contributor * Senior leadership are approachable * Fair compensation on support weeks * Importance placed on culture internally, and the impact we have on our surroundings (i.e. B-Corp) * Work life balance is respected * "Strong opinions, weakly held" - a mantra taken in by the company and fully embraced by everyone, and allows everyone to feel as an equal participant to discussions
Cons
* Steep learning curve - quite a lot of intro talks when you onboard and it can feel like a deluge of information * Diversity - from my view point, there does seem to be a lack of diversity at the moment (BIPOC in particular). That being said - it is clear to see that there are movements within the company to diversity and review our recruitment pool * Working hours - 9-6 is the expected working hours. This con can be taken with a pinch of salt. The reason I'm highlighting it is that I've come from a previous job where the hours were 9-5, so the extra hour took a bit of adjusting to
