Ventajas
I've been working at Meridian for close to two years now. They are a fair and honest employer. What you see is what you get. If you follow the employee rules and do your job, the company pays you fairly and works to provide a comfortable and safe workspace. I work with the Portland office directly. I've met a recruiter, the HR director, and the head of the Portland branch. All three have been unusually transparent and direct with me. At Meridian, you get what you put into the job.
Desventajas
Some employees prefer constant hand-holding. Meridian is not like that. Sure, they will call you once or twice a month to check in on you, but they also expect you to ask questions if you need help and to follow procedures. This is a better company for those who prefer macro management styles.
