      Pros

      The people I work with are amazing and so glad to be on a team with them. Without sharing specifics, my daily job has some pretty awesome moments depending on what requests we get from UWs

      Cons

      Incredibly metric/productivity driven. Weekly reports have often been late and inaccurate meaning it takes even longer to see if we even met the weekly requirements
