Pros

Very financially strong company with a structure built for advancing people and helping them achieve their goals. They are moving more towards work in the states which is encouraging for those who want to stay in the US.

Cons

Your direct manager makes all the difference in the world. This applies to any field; however, when you are working on a 3+ year long project, working with a poor manager can make life a little more difficult than it needs to be. Make sure you meet the individuals you will be working for before signing up. Good luck!

Pros

Good salary and 6% 401K match

Cons

The company is in constant organizational flux. They bought LinQuest a year ago and are already spinning the entirety of what was LinQuest off into another company. PTO accrual increase is in 10-year increments.
