A great place to work if it doesn't bother you that you job could be eliminated any day.

Pros

An ever changing environment that constantly provides interaction with very bright and capable people.

Cons

They don't care who they get rid of when times get tough. Some of the people they have let go have made huge contributions to the company while some of the ones that are kept can hardly find their way to the office.

Business Outlook

Pros

The culture of the company is open, respectful, and data-driven. Because the company is data-driven, ideas and the data that support them are usually held in high regard over a person's title or company politics. The company's employees are generally interested in finding ways to enhance our customers' well-being and supportive of the company's goal to be a beacon for ethical treatment of our customers within the industry.

Cons

The company is more entrenched than it was a decade ago. It is difficult for sweeping changes to be made within the organization because of roadblocks set up within the organization that make change difficult.
