Pros
  • Good pay.
  • Manager is hit or miss, but they generally are good about it.
  • Office situation is fine, with snacks and simple things.
Cons
  • Only here for the money, nothing you work on will get shipped or released.
  • Very political once it comes to these things.
  • Co-workers are chill, but some are uptight and need to relax; it's work, not life or death.
