Pros

1. TAP will pay for going back to school 2. Close to home(for me)

Cons

1. No longer offering working remotely (1 day/week) 2. About $15k-$25k below average pay from other places,including other USG institutions. 3. Utilizing older technology,Oracle PL/SQL, to build apps. 4. High expectations without compensating the developer for it. 5. Constantly talking about making changes for the better and never going through with it. 6. We are currently being micromanaged on all of our projects/tasks(down to the minutes we work and on what). 7. Will paint with a broad brush on what the developer's job entails so they can ask senior developer work from a lower level developer. 8. Very bad office politics you must navigate through.

Pros

Those are really good opportunities for you to gain more experience on your resume while in school. Depending on who your supervisor is, you will get different projects and experience. It's not just strictly "lab research" like the name suggests. Also, beyond your job, you will learn a lot from your professor, aka supervisor, too. In my experience, I have worked with multiple professors, and they are all amazing people who understand you're still a student, are very flexible with your schedule, and always push for your success. Big pros: You get a tuition waiver depending on your job's tier (meaning how much work and how many hours per week you work, which is stated clearly on the website and by your supervisor). There's a stipend paid on top of that.

Cons

I haven't had any cons so far.

Pros

The only true "pro" to this career and this employer is the job security. As long as you do your job and do it well, it is likely that you'll remain employed here. If you get lucky, like I did, you'll work with a great immediate team of folks.

Cons

No upper movement. The company would much rather bring in outside hires rather than promote from within. Pay is on the lowest end of the USG for this role. Work/life balance is absolutely horrible.
