Pros

Fantastic perks through the screenings and loads of freebies. Cool work environment and passionate people. The name brings in talent but the IT department is run by the most shocking management I have ever seen in my 20 years working in technology departments. arrogant management teams spend their time playing golf in the office or creating excuses to travel far and wide. Staff who are responsible for operations get overloaded while management chill out and boss around the juniors. Disgusting.

Cons

When the new management took over . They spend your companies hard earned cash on themselves with MacBooks and iPads and every gadget then they tell you they have no budget for staff below management. Our operations will be stuck in the 80s style management. Feel so sorry for apprentices who are stuck on the desk and never taught a thing, I'm now looking for a new job now, I've had enough and tired of telling my manager of the issues and he just says, it's out of my hands nothing we can do!

Pros

Great perks and benefits! Free theme park tickets, cable, peacock subscription. Good place for interns

Cons

Entry level pay is very poor and not sustainable. Lot of politics when it comes to promotions and it is based more on relationship with management rather than actual performance. Upper management just takes all your work and presents as their own. Fake it till you make is at every level of this organization. Hired people as remote and now is laying everyone off.
