      Pros

      Great manager and work. Awesome flexibility managing work and home life. Very easy to navigate a family and work. They don't seem to have a problem spending customer money and you do get to test on cutting edge technologies.

      Cons

      Upper management doesn't seem to understand that their small town mindset doesn't work in a major metropolis. Horrible benefits. Mediocre pay. Technology used for work is very outdated and they seen to apply a bandaid mentality as to how to go about maintaining key technologies. My laptop for example is still a windows xp with 1gb of ram. Yet the expectations of me providing excellent service is hamstrung with these out dated machines.

      Pros

      Medical Benefits are very good. Not a lot of micromanagement unless your leader doesnt understand the resources to pull this info. AI is highly encouraged, not required... which is a nice balance.

      Cons

      Random layoffs every couple months. Kate Johnson doesn't understand the importance of credibility in this space. Q1 customer meetings are majority introduction meetings due to constant account realignment. Leadership pretends to believe they know these are large enterprise accounts, but their actions reflect a transactional sales approach.
