Great movement room as long as you are willing to relocate. The salaries are good and the benefits are great. You can easily progress down your career path here.

Cons

Commodity based business, they take a cookie cutter approach to the best practices and don't have enough infrastructure to support the the needed changes to drive down cost while improving reliability.

Pros

Ability to work 100% remote.

Cons

ITAS OTC Manager has no clue how to manage, encourage development, or plan growth. He was too busy trying to keep his skills up and not actually cultivate newcomers and manage well. I felt alone and not supported by my manager. The environment is not great for newcomers to the company. The team supposedly has so much work, but was able to lay me off after returning to work from health event. Complete and utter joke. They do not honor their core values. Beware of this place.
