Business Outlook

Pros

A big statement, but what a company. I love them like family and they treat me like family. I was freelance for 12 ish years, then I was lucky enough to be selected to join this incredible group of technologists. I love every day we work to make a difference, and we really do. Our company is amazing and so are all the people who make it the best company in the world. Big Kudos to TWKS!!! :-)

Cons

My only con is that my local office don't have a pet at work agreement, but then working from home means pet's always here. It's TWKS, one of the most prestigious brands in tech, cons = you never want to leave and you have bugs (friends) for life.
