Business Outlook

Pros

Low stress, easy work, most of the day's work can be completed in two hours. Above average work-life balance.

Cons

Work is boring and unchallenging. Twenty percent of the people are doing 80% of the work. The culture creates a workplace where some people use personal reasons as to why they cannot get work done, and you can't make people do any work because of the 'culture.' People complain that the salary isn't in line with other tech companies, but the salary is actually high for the amount of work being done. Promotions are based on who you know versus the work that you do.
