Pros

Can negotiate base pay easily, probably due to lack of strong candidate pool. Good health benefits for the area. Great level of diversity.

Cons

Profitable goal is clear, how to get there short of job cuts is unclear. A lot more layoffs coming to Malta. 3 types of people there, ones how know a lot and wont share for job security reasons, ones how know but are overloaded to help and the ones that dont know enough to be effective. My experience is 20% know, but wont help. 20% know and cant help. 60% dont know and need help but struggle to find it.

Pros

Very supportive team and management to work with from the beginning. Many training classes need to be taken in moving forward to align with the company policies and technical procedures. Good benefits and competitive salary. Have a very positive plan for long term career and educational support tuition. The interview and hiring process are long but informative and responded promptly.

Cons

There are many training classes to take so it may put more stress on a new hire if you do not have a good plan.

Pros

Great team in Burlington. Diverse technology portfolio provides endless opportunity to learn.

Cons

Non-revenue support groups have small budgets and are seen as cost-burdens. Raises and promotions are behind the industry.
