Pros

Great team that helped me transition from college to a corporate job. It's a very simple process - I got recruited from college and was put through their training program. When training was completed, I was introduced to their clients and now am a Cloud Developer at a Federal agency.

Cons

Opportunities are currently limited to only within the continental US.
