Pros

I was not sure of what to expect when I joined. I feel empowered to make changes. My management listens to me and lets me run with my ideas. Location is great - lunch time options are plenty.

Cons

There are people from old school, resistant to change. Office views are great but indoor space feels a little dated. Could invest in some new carpets.

Pros

The people are great and overtime pay was good. Nice location, lots of happy hour choices nearby.

Cons

Management is very cliquey, promoting those within their circle before others. Difficult to move up beyond your immediate department. Cost for parking was astronomical. Lots of overtime.
