Pros

I work in procurement. Decent benefits Rewards employees who work hard There are many trainings to learn excel, project management, negotiating, sourcing strategies, etc. The work changes often enough to keep things interesting. The pay is good. Some groups allow work from home occasionally and jeans on Fridays.

Cons

Many groups work way more than 40 hours a week and it's expected you do the same. Not all groups are like this though It is not a good time to work here until the company splits. There are fears of layoffs and there is a lot of shuffling of people around. Wait until second half of 2016 or longer if you want stability.

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.
