Pros

There were a lot of very friendly people that wanted to propel me forward.

There was a lot of opportunity to learn more about the company and the work that they did.

I was given a lot of time to do research to find the best strategy to perform my work.

Generally, there was never too much of a rush, and work-life balance was supreme.

I could choose my hours as school picked up or calmed down.

Cons

My workstation was locked down. I was stuck in Windows with very little ability to modify or install software. As a result, my work was slow as I could not use tools that would make me most effective.

Advice to Management

Find some way for people in software to develop more freely. There is very sensitive data at stake, so I have some level of understanding.
