Great benefits, but...
Pros: Amazing benefits. But no exceptions made. Read the con.
Cons: Received offer to start on X day, however, I was expecting twins to be born maybe a week after their proposed start date. I did the right thing to defer my start date by 8 weeks as it was not right to join and immediately ask for a leave of 16 weeks. After joining I asked if I could get 8 weeks of parental leave spread over 12 months so I wouldn’t impact any client work. Denied because my kids were born outside my start date. I would have been better off joining on X day and immediately asking for a parental leave of 16 weeks. Doing the right thing backfired bad.
