Pros

There is a path for everyone! If you are an Instructional Designer, Business Analyst, Project Manager, Software Developer/Architect, etc; there is a place for you to be and grow in the organization. Even with the recent financial situation, the firm has a positive long-term outlook.

Cons

Being in a remote/virtual role is hard to interact with casual conversations. Be prepared to loose the few minutes before/after meetings for additional clarification. You will need to schedule time to talk to stakeholders or move the conversations to additional calls or online chat.
