Pros: I have no complaints about working here, and I love the environment. I honestly would recommend this job to anyone looking to start a path in technology, as there is always room for growth.

Cons: This position was for 3D mapping of the streets and it was amazing, minus the 16-hour days. Though those 16 hours were spent driving, the position was fun, took you to new places, and provided you with a group of fun and interesting coworkers. I would take this position again if I wasn't happy with my current occupation. The only downfall was being away for 4 weeks at a time.
