Pros
The office is beautiful and most other employees and management are nice. There are a decent amount of company events like parties, bbqs, potlucks. Appears to be a lot of room for growing and it’s encouraging to see a lot internal promotions. Free drinks and snacks. Arcade games, ping pong and other activities available during lunch time. A lot of “social” time both in office and on slack.
Kontras
Benefits are not that good. They are advertised as free with no deductible when I started, however last year our plans started including a deductible that was never discussed until implemented. More PTO is needed. We have to wait 5 years for an increase in PTO from 15 to 20 days whereas a lot of tech companies have way more flexibility. Further, it seems internal promotions are mainly out of one department which can be discouraging for those not in that department. Salaries could also stand to be increased to be more competitive, but also to encourage employees to remain motivated to keep up with the demanding workload. Communication from dept to dept could be better.
