Pros

Flexible work schedule, great work colleagues and atmosphere.

Cons

Complete lack of transparency from management on discussions regarding career progression, employees are actively told to be patient for promotions while there is no movement towards allowing progression internally. The department hasn’t had any significant promotions in a long time so there is a lot of people stuck at the same level for years. Current writers are also encouraged by management to do the work of senior positikms knowing that they will not get promoted to that level or be compensated for the high workloads.
