Vantaggi
Mission-driven work, flexible time off, parental leave/fertility benefits, etc. The size of the organization is also a pro for me; we've grown a lot over the years, but not so rabidly, that you don't know almost everyone in the company. Another perk of where we are as a company is that if you want it, you can take initiative and grow. The current CEO listens to employees and actually lives out the open-door policy corporate jargon. It's clear he cares about the people and the business, which is refreshing and positively impacting the culture.
Svantaggi
For a tech company, salaries aren’t very competitive. During the merger periods, they have tried their best to keep as many people as possible, which is amazing, but has resulted in what feels like redundancy in some leadership positions, making it confusing who is responsible for what. There is still a decent amount of roll up your elbows, all hands on deck, start up feelings at times, which can be great for some, but also conflicting with the expectations now assigned to us from being backed by private equity.
