Pros

There are no pros to working at this company. Okay, I lied, there is one....your direct deposit will always go through.

Cons

After working for this company for over 10 years I learned that unless you are a middle aged man, you aren't going to move up in this company in position or salary. They don't care if you have a family, in their eyes you live to work for them. Very top heavy management who get ridiculous raises and bonuses every year, yet the people actually doing the work don't qualify for bonuses and barely get a cost of living raise. The COO, Isam Hasenin, has broken so many HR laws it's ridiculous. If you're a woman trying to get into a management position, good luck.

Pros

- Remote work - Easy and rote work, usually involving the same technologies over and over again - Likely to find at least one other coworker who is also miserable, to commiserate together

Cons

- Pay is below market rate for positions - Little-to-no opportunities for upward movement nor lateral movement, in employment within company - Overly reliant on single, massive clients - Work was tedious and monotonous for ^ this reason - Atrophy of advanced skills, which were never needed for this job - Vulnerable to implode if a single massive client pulls out - Company touts "green" and "eco" conscious values, yet company is actively, hypocritically, engaging and ramping up its contracts with massive oil companies in Western Asia
