Pros

Able to get health insurance, even working 12 hours a week, but much cheaper if you work at least 20 hours a week. Fun coworker events.

Cons

Lots of weekends. Horrible HR department, although they're slowly weeding out the bad ones. Instead of getting rid of incompetent management, they just "demote" them at the same rate of pay. Daytime coworkers get a lot better treatment and perks (food in the staff cafe, committee meetings and trainings schedule mostly during the daytime).

Pros

I have a very empathetic and flexible manager. Although I do meet the requirement to be in office three days a week many others do not and don’t seem to suffer for it. My work can be challenging at times, but due to the slow pace of most things here I rarely feel overwhelmed.

Cons

This is, without equivocation, the most sclerotic organization I have ever been a part of. The management structure and reporting lines are inscrutable and even after 3 years I barely understand how my team fits into the larger picture. My job is a data role, and although getting access to data has improved somewhat, it is still one of my biggest blockers.
