Business Outlook

Pros

You'll be working for a tech company

Cons

There is so much FAVORITISM within the leads and supervisors. I guess if you kiss-butt or play the leads and supervisors you'll get recommended or promoted. It's certainly not a level playing field for everyone. There are people who pick and choose who gets a chance at an open position. Unprofessional, unfair way of choosing who gets promoted. Inequality at its finest. Some of these people that were chose cheated on their tests to get hired.
