Business Outlook

Pros

1. Flexible schedule, every other Friday off 2. Depending on project/manager, pretty flexible with remote work for now (management keeps implying this will change in the semi-near future) 3. Generally low pressure 4. Very friendly & helpful coworkers. Honestly lovely people to work with.

Cons

1. Low compensation, poor raises, no bonuses 2. Little room to explore new projects, technologies, or learn things if you get unlucky with your initial project placement. 3. My entire first year here, I wrote 6 lines of code. (Although now have wriggled my way into a more exciting and active project by luck)
