Pros

Most of the people in the company are nice, and the office location (which we're moving out of) is good

Cons

The department is a complete mess. Constant micromanagement (most of the time from *other* departments), upper leadership who wants to be deeply involved in processes they don't seem to understand, and management that seems to value being a part of the "in" group over efficiency or skill. You will be treated as untrustworthy, the details of your job will change at the whim of middle and upper management, and any suggestions about changing procedures for efficiency will be treated as an inherent negative and dismissed out of hand. I've heard many times how we're "trying to fix our processes", but the company has such high turnover and "this is just the way things are done" is so set in stone in leadership's minds that it actually happening seems like a dream.

Pros

CEO was supper nice and friendly. All the PM were wonderful to work with. Outside accounting I have no issues.

Cons

Internal processes were a joke. There was no proper training. If you were trained incorrectly that was blamed on you for not magically knowing how to do it. I was brought in to help make changes to process that were old and outdated and was instead made to feel like I was a failure. Lied to daily about why no changes could be made. Made to do busy work that did not affect or benefit my job in any way. Was bullied and harassed constantly my accounting management. Brought it up to HR who seems clueless and when they brought it up to accounting managers I was retaliated against.

Pros

Talented coworkers, interesting projects, great dogs, great location, and great teamwork! Management truly cares for employees and partners are very invested in the day to day operations of the company.

Cons

Training and professional development are often talked about, but workloads are too full to actually offer or receive much of it. The office environment does not always support good work/life balance, most employees put in long hours and remote work is discouraged.
