NOT Winning The Right Way

Pros

Equitable work/life balance. Some good people.

Cons

Heavily siloed, ridiculous processes, completely dysfunctional - this place makes the federal government look efficient. Despite the brand's reputation, it's a surprisingly un-American and anti-American company. The company is made up of a ton of cheap foreign labor, and is constantly offshoring American jobs. Additionally, the company uses a ton of temp/contract workers and H-1B visas. This company uses and throws away more people, faster than you would believe. The company's motto is "win the right way", which couldn't be further from the truth. This is an unethical, faceless, anti-American, globalist corporation, that only cares about the bottom line. If you are seeking employment, look elsewhere.
