Pros

- Cassiopeia food is usually good. It's getting more expensive and crowded - be prepared to stand in line for fifteen minutes. - Health insurance. It costs $60/month and covers anything - Decent pay. I worked at a bank before the department was shuttered, and I was paid more there. But this job is less volatile and is pretty close in base.

Cons

- Each time I travel, I fly out Sunday morning and fly back Wednesday late at night. Count it up - one day weekend many weeks. - No professional development. Programmers - good luck finding anything asking for Cache. IS - you don't learn much Project Management from a bunch of other kids eight months out of college. TS - I hope you enjoy sifting through poorly maintained Wikis all day. - You live in Madison and commute roughly 90 minutes a day, or you live in Verona/Middleton and have no social life. There isn't a right answer here. - One of the best things about the bank was the ability to advance. Once you get thrown into a box at Epic, you stay there until you leave or beg your TL to try out another box. What people find, once they get what they want, is that the four people with titles would rather churn and burn the livestock than keep any box livable. Developers here tend to be low to midgrade, but they definitely have the best employment if they stick around.
