Pros

I heard so many horror stories, but I haven’t experienced anything like them. I think it really depends on the team. So far, I couldn’t be happier. Here’s an overview of what I love:

  • Great coworkers. Everyone supports each other, and we even hang out as friends occasionally.
  • Super positive work environment. Even the senior manager hangs out in the office to joke around and keep things fun.
  • Mentorship. I have been suuuuper supported by my mentor from the very start.
  • Opportunities. I was quickly working on a project that I found interesting and impactful.
  • Hybrid work. We can come into the office or stay home as we please.
  • Pay and benefits. Of course.
Cons

On my team, I really can’t think of anything. Maybe it’s that there is a lot to learn. The learning curve is pretty big, but who cares when everyone’s got your back, and it’s interesting stuff.

Advice to Management

Maintain this culture. It’s what keeps the employees here.
