Pros

Clear expectations. Line manager and project manager supervision set up. Work from home. Not too much to do on a daily basis

Cons

They hired too many people into a bridge program. They promised to promote everyone within 6 months and they have not kept this promised. They seem to be stringing along the employees but don't actually have a plan to get everyone promoted to CRA 1. It would be no problem but salaries for this position are much lower than for CRA 1. We were all willing to deal with this salary discrepancy given the 6 month expectation. Now there's 100+ people waiting for projects and promotions. Their bridge education program isn't intensive enought to fill over 6 months so a lot of us are withering on the vine. I hate that they put us in this position.
