CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Decent pay, flex-time, and a nice cafeteria.

Cons

During the interview, was promised an interesting and engaging job. After starting, I was assigned to something different than what was discussed during the interview process. It's now been a few months, and I still haven't done any of the interesting or engaging work that I was supposed to work on.
