Business Outlook

Pros

Overtime paid. Good assurance plan. Possibility to travel for work around the globe. Lots of challenge.

Cons

Week is more around 46-50 hours. The company didn't see themselves as a software company, so the management is not perfectly aligned with the software process used by the employees. Pressure can be quite high some times.
