Pros
  • Good people
  • Good benefits & full coverage
  • Additional lifestyle spending account & perks
  • Team is independent, so you can work alone a majority of the time
  • Decent salary if you want to cruise under the radar
Cons

The team acts like support because we have no metrics to measure our success. The team is growing without direction. The pay band has a significant gap due to pre-existing teams combining. There is a lack of leadership experience. There is misalignment internally on job levels and expectations. There is some but minimal direction on career path.

Advice to Management

Stop underpaying your staff and listen to your employees.

Attrition is already a problem, and if it is not solved, it will continue. There are many companies who are paying much more and expect less.
