Pros

Great work/life balance; never expected to work overtime. Flexible work hours. Fully remote work option for all roles that can be remote. Opportunities to gain new skills in role or through free training. Working to modernize development practices. Tangible efforts to celebrate diversity and practice inclusion.

Cons

Pay significantly below market for similar companies.

Raises do not keep up with inflation, let alone salaries of new people hired for the same position.

Many people put up for promotion are denied by executives because of limited funds.

Some people get stock options; most people don't.

Advice to Management

It's incredibly frustrating to be told the company is making record profits, while also being told it cannot afford to raise salaries up to the inflation rate. Salaries lose value if they are not raised to keep up with inflation. Advocate for fair raises so that you retain people.
