Pros

Peers are talented, good pay.

Cons

Talen's focus is to run as efficient (cheaply) as possible, merge & sell & acquire & divest, fat bonus to the guys upstairs, while the downstairs crew is expected to wear multiple hats and put in ridiculous hours due to being understaffed. Search Talen's history, went public 2015, private 2016, sell offs... Very unstable.

Pros

Smaller feel, good for prioritizing family and life outside of work. Not too competitive between co-workers. Great collaborative culture.

Cons

On the smaller side means less opportunities and more waiting for roles to open up and advance. I saw a lot of people leave for better opportunities.

Good opportunity to make good money through constantly available overtime.

Cons

12-hour swing shift leads to abysmal work/life balance.
