Pros

Free coffee in the cafeteria

Cons

Little to no room for growth. Applied internally multiple times and managers have favorites, so they will vengefully put in a bad word with upper level management if you dont stroke their ego. Poor pay, maybe at least 20k below industry standards and you will be working twice as hard only to be micromanaged with them reviewing every detail, questioning on your work, if your assignments really are taking that long, if you are working as hard as you can or if youre just being lazy (theres been a ten-fold increase since covid), pay-cuts, no reimbursements. You have to be prepared to take complete blame for everything and your manager wont help you, only tell you you look like youre struggling. Quick to fire people. VERY high turn over rates. Be warned. I absolutely do not recommend. If you can work any place else, please consider only taking this as your absolute last option

Really great manager. Remote work major plus. No micro management. Great pay

Cons

Annual salary increase this year isn't until September which is odd.

Pros

Great benefits including PTO, health care and other benefits.

Cons

Very much a brother-in-law feel when it comes to promotions and praise. If you aren't in the cool club, you will be shunned and left out. Management also makes business decisions without understanding the niche part of the various industries.
