          Pros

          Fantastic co-workers and first level managers. Good place for an entry level to get real world work experience on the resume.

          Cons

          Extremely disappointed with CEO Alan Masarek - started out strong with what turned out to be empty promises; "we will be doing less with less". Massive cuts at the worker level but no product rationalization so we are left to do the same work with far fewer employees. Alan is no different than any other corporate leader; he is bringing in more and more execs at the expense of the real workers and taking on pet projects. Laying off US workers with experience and corporate knowledge and attempting to hire in low cost regions. The real worker bees of the company are overworked and exhausted. "Destination place to work".... that is laughable. To be a DPTW first restore work-life balance, then add the fluff like pizza party or ice cream social.

        Hello! I have two interviews, one tomorrow & another one on Friday. I'm preparing cause I feel that I'm not very good at them & I hate that. So, I'm researching, taking notes & praying a whole lot lol! Is it okay to refer to notes during an interview? Should I ask interviewer if it's okay? I wanna do my best & feel it'll help some ... a little more confidence I guess!

        Can someone provide insights into what to expect during a DevOps internship interview?

        What is a normal/common resume length for c2c/consultant roles in tech? What about a fte resume? My contract role resume used to be 5-6pages, this was 4years ago, prior to covid. Not sure if this is still a norm. Meanwhile my fte resume is concise, 2pages long. I have 10years of exp for reference.
