Pros

High salary Good for network building Good for experience development

Cons

Project Leaders do not have study management control as too many internal request that take priority regardless of your study status. PL’s being deskilled by the constant micro management and questioning, it’s really suffocating.

Pros

Great teams and manager is down to Earth. You learn a lot for sure

Cons

Unrealistic timelines and demands. Have had many aggressive projects burning folks out. Feel like we're understaffed and more work is thrown on our plate. Compared to competition, the salary is very low nor are there any bonuses. Don't feel like there's any growth or promotions once you've hit a senior level. Medical insurance has good coverage but I'm definitely paying a higher premium compared to the past.
