Pros

campus is clean and decent.

Cons

My experience at this company was extremely disappointing. Despite promising flexibility and benefits like unlimited PTO, the reality was quite the opposite. Taking even a single sick day became nearly impossible, even after extended periods of overtime and high workload. There is a consistent pattern of miscommunication or misinformation from management — whether regarding responsibilities, benefits, or expectations. The work environment lacks transparency, and morale suffers as a result. Many skilled and talented colleagues ended up leaving due to the lack of support, ethical leadership, and recognition. Unfortunately, the culture promotes burnout rather than growth or balance.
