Pros

The work environment feels very structured, and this can have its upsides - there's always a procedure and a policy for what to do. You get to have contact with your clients directly sometimes and this is helpful in understanding how your job ties into the bigger picture. John Holt is a visionary man, and I find that he lacks the ego that is so common with tech-sector CEOs.

Cons

The auto industry is extremely volatile, and Cobalt is dependent upon some of the worst-performing automakers as some of its core clients. The move towards digital marketing vs. traditional will not likely change, but the job seems like it would be easily replaceable and subject to what happens in the next few years in the industry.

Pros

Lots of historical technical issues that need bringing up to current standards let people learn and apply all kinds of knowledge and experience. Very young workforce (which can be a good thing or a bad thing).

Cons

Very little support for doing things the right way - instead it's almost always "cram it in, get it done, fix it later", but later never comes because there are always many, many other fires to put out (at least daily, if not hourly). Years of this, along with high turnover has made Cobalt a mess as far as technology goes...
