Pros

Some of the people were amazing.

Cons

Pay and benefits are terrible. Technical competence was non existent. No opportunity for advancement. Incompetent senior management only hired even less competent local management. The OGC division is being eaten alive by competition since the competition actually hires people that know what they are doing.
