Pros

My direct management has been great and there's a genuine interest in using the latest and best technologies to get the job done. As an engineer you are given a lot of freedom to choose how you solve problems.

Cons

In an increasingly open job market, the company is struggling to continue to stay competitive in compensation.

Pros

It's fun to interact with athletes and help them achieve their goals.

Cons

As with any part-time job in this economy today, hourly pay for part-timers is so much lower that the cost of living. Just to cover my internet access each month (which is now considered an essential living cost), it takes 6 hours of work. For the minimal increase in hourly pay if I took a full-time job at DSG, I wouldn't be able to cover even 70% of my living expenses (housing, food, transport, internet, phone). It's a sobering thought as we navigate this country's massive wealth disparity.
