Decent company with lots of work but limited training on certain products

Systems engineer

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Lots of work. Good people and decent company. Old Reno building, very lackluster, not much of cohesiveness and it was like people were still more remote, than in the office. Decent managers and co-workers.

Cons

Seemed like hundreds of constant gaming license apps and renewals all the time. I wasn't really getting the training on the installs and upgrades, bit of a learning curve.
