    Once was great.

    Nov 18, 2022 - Engineer in Denver, CO

    Business Outlook

    Pros

    Remote working. On day one, I will set up with the laptop and all in all essentials. They mention that there wasn't any office space for me. So then I was able to work remote 100% from day one. That was amazing.

    Cons

    Sometimes if you work too hard, you'll literally work yourself right out of a job. As a high performer, going above and beyond the call of duty ended up completing all the work for my position that was originally slated.
