Pros

Values-based company. Desires to do the right thing. Generally very good people across the company. Consistently ranked as best metals company. Compensation generally competitive. Paid well to work hard. Very results oriented.

Cons

Despite cost cutting, downsizing, right sizing, triming capacity and a host of other things - stock has nothing to show for it. If you enjoying building power points and revising them many times just to change colors, font size, position of text, etc you will enjoy working here. Seem to live quarter to quarter.

Pros

Ability to work 100% remote.

Cons

ITAS OTC Manager has no clue how to manage, encourage development, or plan growth. He was too busy trying to keep his skills up and not actually cultivate newcomers and manage well. I felt alone and not supported by my manager. The environment is not great for newcomers to the company. The team supposedly has so much work, but was able to lay me off after returning to work from health event. Complete and utter joke. They do not honor their core values. Beware of this place.
