Pros

Very professional, I was treated very well from day one Autonomy, I was set to go on my job after only a few days of orientation and indoctrination. The only time a Manager intervened was if I had made a mistake I didn't know about or if I asked questions.

Cons

Parking was inadequate at the location I worked Campuses are very far apart, a lot of driving if you frequent other work groups Oil industry. Subject to the whims of OPEC Cubicles. As a Creative I need an environment free of distraction so I frequently retreated into my headphones to work. That caused issues when people visited my space and tried to get my attention.
