Pros

The literal only good thing about working here is your coworkers. Everyone is miserable together.

Cons

I literally could not believe the amount of micromanagement that goes on here. If you aren't at work 5 minutes early, you're late. Don't even think about going to the kitchen to fill your water bottle after 8 a.m.! Lunch is at noon and ends at one not a minute sooner or later. Same goes with end of the day. Don't you dare leave right at 5 when you're technically allowed. Aside from all of that, the work here is mind numbingly boring. If you like to input numbers into spreadsheets all day, maybe this job is for you but if you actually want some excitement, stay away. When you're done with the spreadsheets and have literally nothing to do, don't even think about browsing the web because any site you'd want to look at is blocked because management has a giant superiority complex and thinks that grown, mostly college educated adults need to be treated like children. Speaking of management, it's horrible. Basically everyone is some management role thinks that they are so important when half of them are in their positions because of favoritism. To top it off, management expects everyone to be so grateful for every little party or company dinner or some donuts left in the kitchen. Maybe we would be more grateful if you ever gave raises or actually gave us some days off. If you like to be condescended and treating like a child, this is the place for you.

Pros

Work on a diverse set of applications to help facilitate customer needs is both fulfilling and challenging. There is a lot of opportunity and never a boring moment.

Cons

Admittedly one of my biggest gripes during my tenure of employment was observing where things were at versus where they could be. However it is a common gripe nearly every software engineer has when they come into a role. Despite that, I must implore that this isn't a slight against GWA. Rather, I believe it more to be a moment where one needs to be creative in how they approach problem solving. This may slip people up if they're just used to jumping from issue to issue in a Jira Backlog.
