      Ridiculously long hours

      Process engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      -- Good compensation compared to other jobs -- Flexible hours -- Coworkers on the lower levels are great people -- Everyone here is extremely smart and talented

      Cons

      -- Long hours all the time. It's expected that you work 12 hour days, and that you come in on weekends. Because of this, your hourly compensation is actually pretty bad. -- No work / life balance at all. Don't know how people with families can survive working at this company. -- Management won't allow more resources / hiring even though it will clearly help teams accomplish more work

      Be prepared for rapid, violent change

      Get A Life

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Workaholics thrive. If you're willing to work 50 hours per week, you will get an opportunity for promotion with work longer hours.

      Cons

      The rest of us can have a better job and a personal life for the same pay at other companies
