Discussion on: Have you ever had a really good employer? Whatever the answer, why was that the case? :)

I would say yes. I'm currently at the company in which I began my career three years ago and I consider it to be a great place to work. Now, don't get me wrong, there have definitely been moments/projects where I've questioned whether I wanted to continue there or not, completely due to workload.

In my opinion, determining whether an employer is "good" boils down to personal preference. Personally I like that my employer values time off by giving us unlimited PTO, trusts us and doesn't micromanage, allows us to work from home, and encourages us to speak up about things we disagree with. Every time that I, along with my coworkers, have felt overworked, my managers have held open discussions with us and we have figured out what the cause was.

So I'm assuming from the @kant312 's comment and yours that apart from being in a certain degree a matter of taste, common well perceived behaviours are communication and trust. Good to know 😄

Thank you both for your time!
