Pros

Great manager and team! Excellent PTO.

Cons

A lot of work is done by vendors, not in house. The company has a lot of work that needs to be done to improve processes. There are no admins for departments, so seems like you are always doing a lot of admin work, instead of focusing on your main job. The company now mandates 30 days working in office per quarter. Difficult to move up in the organization. There has recently been lay offs, and I am afraid there will be more coming.
