Pros

- Flexible hours and scheduling - Discounted NVD products - Average benefits. New gym. - Limited opportunities for projects abroad (nationally & internationally)

Cons

- Little recognition of effort and work. Management is quick to blame and provides little support to their own groups. - Promotions given even if individuals are not fully qualified - Work is done and prioritized in a constant "crisis" mode, providing little time and opportunity to get "normal" work done.
