Pros

I have a lot of authority on how projects are set up and managed. Management response to issues is very quick and effective. I can perform the technical work as well as the project management related work for my applications.

Cons

Salary tends to be a bit below market. Health care benefits are not as good as other employers in the area. There is ongoing pressure to relocate to Monroe, LA, even though I don't want to move there.

Pros

Medical Benefits are very good. Not a lot of micromanagement unless your leader doesnt understand the resources to pull this info. AI is highly encouraged, not required... which is a nice balance.

Cons

Random layoffs every couple months. Kate Johnson doesn't understand the importance of credibility in this space. Q1 customer meetings are majority introduction meetings due to constant account realignment. Leadership pretends to believe they know these are large enterprise accounts, but their actions reflect a transactional sales approach.
