Cons

Most of work under .Net were using older technologies, so most of projects gave less learning No work from home Leaves accumulation on monthly basis Clean Room Policy - Projects needing more security used to need people coming inside closed ODC having no phones or paper even.

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.
