Pros

I got to learn model-based software engineering in HVAC controls.

Cons

- Boss was extremely abusive verbally and sometimes physically. He kept saying that he saw nothing special in me and that he should have hired someone from a local university instead. - No recourse was available for the abusive boss, due to the backing he had from HR. - No recognition of difficulties I faced as a foreign worker on H1B - I had to skip a family member's funeral because of visa rules.
