Pros

Nothing stands out as special

Cons

The people here are overworked and depressed, the pay is below average for the industry, you will be in useless meetings 80% of your time, and middle management is so bloated that it's impossible for anything to get done. Raises don't keep up with inflation and you will need to be here 5+ years to be considered for a promotion. On top of all this, I quit 1 week before my full 24 months was up and they sent me to collections for 150% of my relocation bonus. Garbage company that doesn't care about its employees.
