Pros

Some of the people are nice, though the tension is starting to bite into that as well. Benefits are okay but standard in the industry at this point, nothing great.

Cons

People are over loaded and under appreciated. Promotions are shelled out to the fortunate, and often white males with less experience, while others keep grinding away. Pay is under market and there is zero interest in catching up with the times in a remote world. High pressure with a culture of instilling fear at this point.
