Great work life balance in my department. You get a lot of extra perks
Jane is not growing as a company which makes career growth hard and layoffs frequent
Compensation, benefits, work, smart people, used to be very collaborative, now occasionally collaborative. Making Markets is fun and interesting to study and learn about. In earlier days prioritizing work life balance was done well as it was needed for ambitious workers.
Silos, secrecy, lack of transparency, no distribution of common tools leading to tools redundancy, project ideation easily and often are shot down, egos, work life balance has gotten worse over the years.
