Pros

This place is a good place to learn the in's and out's of your role. The demand for work is reflected on how below market they pay. Majority of the people are nice, friendly, and team players

Cons

- Horrible pay - CIO demands for people to come work in office even during a pandemic and minimum safety procedures in place - you need to stick with the company for more than 5 years to see any type of promotion

Pros

Primarily remote work. Decent PTO after the 4th year.

Cons

Limited staffing and limiting overtime opportunities until the bitter end of potentially missing deadlines, which you are guilted into working. 2% "raise" every January and ZERO merit raises. Gutted profit sharing and profitability bonuses over time. Most recent bonus, which is tied to net profit after dividends, was given a result when the scale was never published. All previous bonuses had a floor-to-ceiling profit scale that showed the targets months in advance of the end of the bonus period.
