Pros

Employees bond together over the unacceptable lack of support and resources from management. Everyone is in the same boat. Medical benefits are great. Brand recognition.

Cons

Employees are extensively overextended with large scope projects without proper resources. Setup to fail from the beginning. Dinosaur age infrastructure. No IT support. Configuration control is almost non-existent. Management is clueless - no vision or direction, and no technical expertise either. High turnover rate. Hostile work environment. Problems with noncompliance! You're basically on your own.

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.
