I have been around for a very long time - nothing I went through is really germane.
They are highly intelligent, always looking - and soliciting - for innovative ways to improve and grow the company.
My specific team is small and tight knit, so it's easy to stay committed to wanting to do things well and what's right for the company.
There is a "back office" vs. "front office" mentality that pits the one against the other that is just mentally exhausting to navigate. Being the messenger getting shot a lot lately, it can be demoralizing.
It's complicated, because I recognize my position and it's ceiling, which I'm at, but there were changes to tax laws that impacted my out of pocket office expense situation that in effect caused me to lose money, which was a devastating hit for me.
They do accept me as an individual - with all the quirks that entails - and they look for ways to fit the right people in the right positions based on that. When I've needed time off for a passion project here or there they've allowed it without question.
