Pros

some work travel… but not many pros worth listing

Cons

the person who wrote the review below… only one person there has that title… and 100% they were asked to write this review by leaders….their listed pros are only given to favorites likes. The company pays horribly, is a revolving door of staff, promotes favorites like the person who wrote the review. So many people leave and the company won’t change. The company could be amazing if they stopped being so old school and treated their staff like people. technology is old, can’t be 100% remote and you get managed by so many fake ppl who make way to much money for the little work they do

Pros

Cross-functional collaboration was encouraged. Learning opportunities were abundant.

Cons

Watch your back, some people are out for themselves. Even those at director levels can be incredibly toxic. They say that inter-company promotions are more desired but managers have blocked opportunities in doing so. Also: TERRIBLE PAY.
