Business Outlook

Pros

Hard to think of any

Cons

It was a bad experience. The Engineering team there is hard to work with. Comprises largely of consultants whom they call "contractors" who are not treated equally and looked down upon. They are working on the most outdated technologies you can think of. Mostly has operations work. The business team there is, however better.
