Pros

My On-boarding experience was nothing like I've ever experienced before. HR has done a great job in creating a New Hire Orientation that engages managers to present to the new hires to provide information on their perspective departments; very informative. The team made me feel very welcome and put together a detailed agenda for my first week of employment. The company promotes work/life balance which is great! The culture is also pretty awesome, especially once you get to know everyone!

Cons

Seems like some managers are resistant to change. The company has grown significantly in the last two years and with that, some new processes and procedures have been implemented. Some are adapting to the new processes, others are not!
