Business Outlook

Pros

Good starting place for a job in Tech. People focused environment, free coffee. Jobs are generally well defined and thus easy to manage

Cons

Jobs tend to be very narrowly defined. Very bureaucratic system. Lot of redundant systems more focus on creating new functionality, too little on cleanup and simplification.
