Pros

A lot of machines and instrumentation to work with. Will sometimes have ice cream truck and food trucks come on site. Safety first work place. 401k matching.

Cons

Most co-workers operate in a "me first" or "cover your own behind" mind set. Management has a tendency to play favorites. Little structure to how work comes in or how it is distributed. Company is trying to spit into two, by eliminating positions.

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.
