Pros

Good management support, great opportunities to work on a ton of new initiatives. Great exposure to new and emerging tech.

Cons

Less holiday entitlement as compared to many other companies. Never received full bonus no matter what your performance is. Health Insurance provider must be changed to other vendor. Not great benefits provided with current insurer and at an additional cost to the employee even though the benefit entitlement was increased recently.
