      Pros

      -Adequate budget means teams are well staffed and projects have generous funding. -Colleagues are kind and smart.

      Cons

      Hierarchical structure is not as efficient as it could be because decision-making is tightly held by the CEO.

      Pros

      Decent pay and benefits, annual cola

      Cons

      Deeply toxic work environment, hierarchical, lots of micromanagement, disrespectful to many staff not perceived as important, zero opportunities for promotion unless you’re part of the “popular” or “in-group.” Any sort of speaking up is silenced or ignored.
