Pros

Pay is average for recent grads, 10% off shopping, store experiences, internal social network, online training

Cons

There's so much gossip, but if you can live with that then maybe this is not much of a con. There's really no career or learning path defined, just generic titles and pay grade bumps. Slow start to becoming agile. It's mostly waterfall with weekly sit downs. There's not many experienced engineers that I've come across that can lead teams. There's another layoff in January so joining this early is a bad idea. I have heard the word freeze used for months. We literally are just waiting it out. It's a great time to slack though. You'll hear a lot of meaningless fluffy jargon.

If you do not have great availability, then this career will not suit you. You will rotating weekends off, but your schedule will based off business needs.
