Business Outlook

Pros

Good business outlook in the near future Great total compensation in local job market Relatively young workforce You will be surrounded by some of the most talented people in the country

Cons

People waste time on things not directly related to business Poor work/life balance, management expect you to get things done no matter what Difference of total compensation between people of the same job grade is not significant, even if you outperform most others. Advancement into manager takes a long time (7+ years), I don't think there is a 'fast-track' system in this company.
