Pros

If you're a baseball enthusiast, you'll appreciate a culture that prioritizes staying informed about games and season updates. Additionally, the PPO insurance plan offers comprehensive coverage with a $0 deductible.

Cons

Despite Major League Baseball Advanced Media presenting itself as a tech company it still operates under the umbrella of a long established legacy business. Due to in-office attendence requirements, teams consisting of geographically diverse members, and open office layouts with a lack of adequate conferencing spaces, the office environment is more reminiscent of a call center than an actual tech office. The company culture is akin to that of a college fraternity with visible cliques forming in office and a general focus on big vanity projects that prioritize leadership wins over tangible improvements for end users. There's a need for a shift in focus towards product quality and customer satisfaction rather than doing something big to gain recognition and a chance at promotion. The work-life balance varies from poor to fair depending on team placement and project demands, but overall, it could be improved with better project management and prioritization.
