Pros

- I got to learn what I don't enjoy in a position. - Makes my new job seem a lot better.

Cons

- Solicitation of pyramid schemes onto new college hires. Brought up to management who did nothing about it. - 13 college hires quit in the span of 11 months. They stopped throwing goodbye parties because it started getting expensive. - No experience gained. Not challenging, job could be completely automated. - Lack of growth and development. - Toxic managers. Team lead called me her "good little Christian boy" (I am not Christian lol)

Pros

Use Fidelity for 401K, but match is low.

Cons

Slowly getting rid of remote opportunities. Healthcare is expensive. Does not observe all federal holidays. Management is a hit or miss. Saw very few young managers. Very little growth (skill-wise and career) for technical personnel. Don't expect mentorship opportunities from seniors or principals as this seems like a place you join at the end of your career. Be prepared to play politics.
