Pros

Lots of work on atm. Good place if you like to be busy.

Cons

In their attempt to promote company culture they can come accross as a bit cultish. The FMG family thing can be a bit much at times. Need to focus more on being an inclusive workplace, not every one wants to be part of a religion....

Pros

The people are amazing and genuinely care about making a difference in the environment

Cons

Managers are the root of most (if not all) of the problems. We hire incompetent first time managers to run the show and are then surprised when they do poorly
