Pros

-You get a salary and may never get fired for under-performing

Cons

This is by far one of the most depressive, non rewarding places to work for if you have a Masters and more. -No career growth opportunities whatsoever. If you have a PhD, this is a dead end. You don't get to do real research nor do you get to implement things the way you envision. Your manager tells you what to do and how to do, without knowing any basics mind you. You basically become a software engineer. -Your contribution is not recognized. -You spend time in meetings every day to report every single thing you did the previous day. Its called stand-ups apparently. Is this elementary school or what? -You have managers who are technically not informed. You are managed by fools who know nothing about the technical stuff but are good at talking the talk. You are told to apply machine learning for problems that don't need machine learning. -The current president is a real joke. She barely has meetings (no kidding) and when she does she gives motivational speeches instead of calling a spade a spade and telling us what we should be doing better, what we are already doing well and what we should be planning on for the future. She is another talk the talk case. -Very unfriendly and clannish culture.

Cons

Terrible place to work. Treats their people like robots. Undermanned, under facilitated -" A forced to work, " workforce, Required either in or over 4hrs. everyday, Don't know when your coming or going, Bounced around job to job, put in situations that your are not trained to do- very unsafe. The worst place I have ever been in.

Pros

Salary is not so bad and that is the only pros I can think of.

Cons

They have a tendency to burn out employees. Company promotes diversity but that is not true. I had bad experiences dealing with some of my co-workers. When you asked questions they some times laugh at you w/c is very inappropriate. People have offended me so many times. One co-worker told me why I keep bothering him. Rude employees with no manners.
