Hello, Thank you for taking the time to leave a review as a current employee. Your feedback is greatly appreciated. I see you are concerned with company urgency, and complicated style of management. I strongly encourage that you talk to your direct supervisor or HR to discuss these issues further.

Pros

Many resources to connect and learn from teammates. Decent insurance and other compensation, not great, not terrible. Plenty of opportunity to see technology updates with a safety net of IT support.

Cons

Just as jaded and snarky as any other workplace, including the management level. Communication is more than plentiful, just not always accurate or earnest. Feedback is kept to only positives, so you don't know you need improvement until it's way too late to fix your reputation.
