Business Outlook

Pros

The pay is decent and working in a hybrid environment is okay. They provide decent benefits as well.

Cons

Youre basically a tier I ticket clearing peon, so you dont really learn anything useful. They middle management will use you and abuse you till you are worn out. They will also dangle a carrot in front of our face with the prospect of employment after you long-term contract ends. However, every person I've known that's worked there has ended up getting ghosted by them. That's not that bad and all, but if you're unfortunate as I am, they end ruining potential employment opportunities for you in the future even though they said you can use them as a reference and put countless hours of OT in for them anytime they needed coverage.
