Business Outlook

Pros

Company is willing to invest in resources and training for its employees and offers great networking opportunities and access to the terminal and seminars.

Cons

At the time, much of the technology was proprietary and you develop software / applications that are not as portable. However, in recent years, the company has been getting rid of their legacy code and modernizing their technology infrastructure. Big-brother watching with the badge-out and daily logs and tracking system.
