      Pros

      Good pay, good benefits, communication to employees good outside of communication within technical groups; extensive CBT training and overall willingness to provide training to employees

      Cons

      Technology group run by tyrannical mangement, lacking management and leadership skills. Not enough focus on meeting business requirements and goals, more like building technology for technology sake along the lines of "build it and they will come"...sounds good in theory and baseball perhaps, but not in real life. The conditions in the workplace that are created by the above, make it very difficult for innovation and true alignment with business goals.

      Pros

      Workload is manageable they don’t put too much on you. Hybrid you come into office once a week.

      Cons

      Some managers are nice some are not and if you have a manager who doesn’t like you it will make the job stressful. If you get a zero for QA part of your bonus will be gone and if you get 3 within a 7 month period you will have to come into office 3 days a week and be on a final and will not get a bonus, bonuses could be higher in my opinion, if your not a good collector they could be as low as $500-$700 every 3 months if your a decent collector they could be $1500 every 3 months if your a good collector they could be $2250-$3375 every 3 months but the base pay isn’t high enough either it’s 50k to 56k all around just not enough money
