Pros

Good co-workers, Close to home,

Cons

Terrible culture with massive ego issues. Don’t waste your time providing actual feedback or bringing forward real concerns. Your comments will be deleted and buried at the highest level. The closest you sit to the leader the faster you will be incentivized to coverup the real feedback.
