Pros

Good benefits, medical and 401k matching. Big company and lots of hiring internally so there's potential to move up within the company even if it's not within your division. Very recognizable name that looks good on a resume.

Cons

High expectations and high workload is not for all people. Job responsibilities often ranged outside of written job description. Established systems were hard to change even if there was a significant business case to do so.

Pros

Ability to work 100% remote.

Cons

ITAS OTC Manager has no clue how to manage, encourage development, or plan growth. He was too busy trying to keep his skills up and not actually cultivate newcomers and manage well. I felt alone and not supported by my manager. The environment is not great for newcomers to the company. The team supposedly has so much work, but was able to lay me off after returning to work from health event. Complete and utter joke. They do not honor their core values. Beware of this place.
