Had to interview with 5 people before I got an offer and they're very picky with performance on paper. That said, I sometimes wonder why a lot of people at the company perform below my standards.

The work is frequently engaging and intellectually stimulating. Sometimes you wonder what the business decision makers were thinking, but I'm guessing that's true just about anywhere.

Recently I've occassionally picked up work roles outside my job description which is a mixed bag. On the downside, I didn't choose those roles for a reason. On the plus side I pick up new skill sets. Still, with the industry the way it is these days, it's understood that people have to wear multiple hats.

Great starting pay with modest annual raises and bonuses based on performance review.
