Pros

I enjoyed the day to day challenges the job offered. work environment overall was great and the teams work tirelessly to help each other out when asked to meet the aggressive deadlines. Products are rolling out quicker than ever and they are making some real progress on the cloud initiatives.

Cons

Project deadlines are a bit unbearable but the teams make up for it with the dedication, teamwork and can-do attitudes.

Pros

Work from home, decent pay

Cons

No advancement opportunities unless you are already a VP, travel expectations can be unrealistic, can't seem to figure out what the path forward is, hard workers are not promoted out of fear that they will not be able to be replaced, remote employees have to carry a lot of expenses that are not reimbursed
