CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

Good benefits, flexible schedule, interesting/engaging work, great coworkers

Cons

Antiquated systems and processes, they will overwork you on projects that will go nowhere, for a tech company they are not very tech saavy, low pay, upper management doesn’t seem to know what they’re doing most of the time, lay offs happen way too often
