A lot of things to learn. Helpful supervisors. Four days a week, not too many, not too few.

Pros

Nothing special or nothing specifically horrible. It is an average place to work for. But again most of the workplaces are average.

Cons

Long hours, performance is not rewarded. Project plan is not realistic at times. Year end review are a joke. Managers think they can do anything.
