Pros

Great place to learn and grow. The company encourages movement every 2 years. People work very hard and long hours and environment can be intense. But hard work is recognized and rewarded.

Cons

Compensation is low compared to other companies and virtually impossible to work virtually in the CCSG group at director and above levels.
