Business Outlook

Pros

People appear to be nice, good benefits, and appearance of nice/collaborative culture.

Cons

Employees - especially those who have been there for years are very territorial for work. The company is highly siloed, people do not collaborate in a positive manner but a very fake manner with alternative agendas. Too many meetings with no agendas.
