Good work life balance, good chance for opportunities, bad tech stack

Business Outlook

Pros

People are very kind and managers (at least in my experience) let you try out new things, especially as a young engineer. You can work on different programs and see what works or even switch around new technologies. Good for trying and learning new things.

Cons

As a software engineer, they are severely lacking in their tech stack. They are quite behind the tech world and use outdated technology often times. It's because they don't need a strong tech stack which is fine, but for aspiring software engineers, you may want to keep this in mind.
