One of the biggest pros of working here is the good pay, which is definitely above average for the industry. Additionally, the co-workers are smart and motivated, which creates a great work environment.

The IT systems are also quite difficult to use, which can slow down productivity. Lastly, there are too many meetings, which can sometimes feel like a waste of time.
