Pros

The actual workflow and workloads were pretty low and easy to manage. And taking time off never appeared to be an issue. They have a great MyLearning Platform you can take advantage of for training yourself for certification.

Cons

With that being said above however, it's a very self-service and learning environment when it comes to jobs function and corporate systems. They are taking the AI route going forward, and job roles are being removed. Job security is very flakey. And if you aren't holding certain relative certs, it's going to rough landing work as it's very competitive. I was recently laid off due to this.
