Pros

There are some amazing people who work at GNE, and mentorship opportunities are available to those who network and have supportive management. Pay is competitive in the industry as well

Cons

Company culture can be a bit toxic - many focus their identity around their work. There is also an element of “it’s not what you know it’s who you know” when hiring or promoting

Pros

The work is meaningful and overall the company vision aligns with my goals

Cons

QA management has become inept. None of the leadership (aside from maybe one or two) truly understand the nuances of our site and jobs. They refuse to pay you more due to "budget" reasons but won't provide much information, they claim to be transparent but will make decisions behind your back and not communicate them, even if they impact you and/or your job. Leadership doesn't listen to feedback and gets defensive if you even try to give any. It honestly has become a game of politics only in QA and that's not really building any real quality culture.
