Pros

Benefits are great, availability to purchase shares in the company, friendly atmosphere with some really nice people. I loved having my own office and not having to deal with open concept.

Cons

Lots of extra time required to meet deadlines so work/life balance wasn’t the greatest. Volume of work is high. I never got used to the 40-hour work week required as all my previous experience in construction and engineering only required 37.5 hours per week. Getting along with management is a must or you’re out (they can dismiss you for any whim). It appeared that if you brought in HR on anything = no longer working.
