Pros

Good PTO package Certain positions are flexible

Cons

Executive Leadership is not transparent as they like to preach to employees. The company is not managed well at all and it appears as though they are headed for a merger/acquisition.

Pros

Great way to build experience.

Cons

5 days in the office. 3% increases no matter what your performance is. POLITICS IS KING. MAFIA LIKE MENTALITY. If you leave they make it seem you won’t get a job anywhere else. Storm pay is 1x aka straight time while most other people are getting 1.5 to 2x time. The contract analysts will make more than you as a PM/Engineer.
