Pros

I thouroughly enjoy what I do everyday and love the people I get to work with. Management is great on my team and I am given ample opportunities to show responsibility.

Cons

Sometimes Seniority seems to come into play. Not that they don’t deserve it, but that it’s more seniority in the team rather than company experience as a whole.
