I enjoyed the work and meeting new people. ESOP was nice. Nice Christmas party

Cons

Pay, lack of positions for my growth. (This company does a lot of computer stuff, and there is plenty of computer work, but My position was pretty niche, so there wasn't a lot of work for me to grow with the company.
