Pros

Excellent work life balance, good salary and working conditions. There are opportunities if you are willing to put in the hard work. Most people who leave, try to get back in.

Cons

They prefer to employ a certain type of person and you will be required to sit testing to identify character traits as well as intelligence. I suspect most large companies do this now. There are less and less job opportunities the higher you go and people tend to hold onto their jobs. If you are a female and choose to work part time due to family commitments there is virtually no job progression for you.

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.
