Pros

Some smart people to work with (quality of new hires have not been so great recently). Interesting projects and challenging work which definitely helps people grow.

Cons

Work life balance is severely impacted due to fractional staffing and unrealistic expectations. Promotions process is not transparent and reasons provided are extremely vague. Work culture is severely deteriorating, as is the compassion in senior leadership. Delivery standards and quality of work reducing each year.

Pros

Strong culture and collaborative environment with smart, supportive colleagues. Admins are trusted partners and get exposure to senior leadership, which provides great learning opportunities. Compensation and benefits are competitive compared to similar roles.

Cons

Workload can be high, with admins often supporting multiple stakeholders while also providing backup coverage. Expectations can vary widely depending on the team, which can create inconsistency and pressure. Career growth paths are less structured and require a lot of self-direction. Work-life balance can be challenging at times, especially across time zones.
