Business Outlook

Pros

Work from home, decent pay, and good management. They treat their employees well. Good vacation and sick time, 401k match, the normal stuff and some extra perks that are nice as well.

Cons

Not a lot of working together from location to location. Hard to work with other sites and countries with little internal communication. Some people work in silos only and can be frustrating at times. These are all pretty minor in the grand scheme.
