      Pros

      -Company holds to it's values -Great collaborations between teams -People always willing to help -Great benefits -Lots of extra perks, like extra days off, company shutdown, wellness days. -Great compensation package -Learned a lot and was allowed to grow

      Cons

      Management was very disconnected from projects. Often when it came to business objectives, which was why they were owners of the project, they were not available. InfoSec is particularly susceptible to this. Management was spread incredibly thin across way too many major projects, and couldn't provide the necessary leadership and oversight. This puts a huge strain on the project teams, as they have to make assumption and caused a ton of rework without changing the targets dates. I would have to work many extra hours trying to compensate. The constant pressure to deliver, while constantly being behind schedule, quickly led to burnout. They have bitten off more than they can chew, and it shows in the satisfaction of the employees. They are overworked, strained, and many have left in a short period of time.
