Cons

-Can be a bit of a "sink or swim" environment picking up skills and catching up on accounts -People are incredibly invested in the work they do - sometimes so that work-life balance can be compromised

Pros

The people - Formative was excellent at providing opportunities to connect with fellow employees & foster relationships. HR invested time in promoting intellectual intelligence training. Some of the current clients are doing wonderful work within the non-profit space. Management was supportive.

Cons

Work-life balance was not ideal. There were layoffs due to an unforeseen loss of a client. The company was not open to remote work post-COVID (at the time of my departure).

Pros

- Leadership that exemplifies kindness, hard-work, and a great sense of humor - Projects that provide impact + meaning - Managers who care about your whole self - Coworkers who have a diverse range of expertise/experience - Opportunities to have ownership + grow - Stocked kitchen of snacks, bi-weekly lunches, many complimentary coffee options, great location, etc :)

Cons

Open workspace means sometimes it gets noisy with different conversations, but also it also adds to the collaborative working.
