World-class benefits. Opportunities for growth. Constantly changing, entrepreneurial landscape.

Business Outlook

Pros

Amazing work-life balance with a fun atmosphere. Can gain some great experience managing small and large IT projects.

Cons

Employees are not rewarded for their performance, everyone gets pretty much the same raise year over year. The only way to quickly move up (depending on the portal you are in) is to move around the country
