Pros

Hans Marrero is a great person if you get to meet him

Cons

All of the smart employees don't stay around very long. No loyalty between employees. No loyalty between employees and managers.. Mass lay-offs, weekly firings. Not to mention working with a product that by nature has many safety concerns.. that you will have to spin positive.. and it will leave you with many sleepless nights wondering..

Pros

Compensation was competitive and there were several dedicated employees who genuinely tried to support one another and keep operations running despite ongoing challenges.

Cons

The biggest challenge was leadership. Many management decisions seemed disconnected from the realities of day-to-day operations, which created constant confusion and unnecessary stress for employees. Communication was often inconsistent, priorities shifted without explanation, and accountability at the leadership level was minimal. Teams were frequently expected to adapt to new directives without adequate planning, resources, or guidance. Over time this created an environment where employees felt unsupported and where avoidable problems kept repeating. The result was declining morale, frustration among staff, and a sense that leadership lacked the experience or awareness required to effectively manage the organization.

Questionable leadership

Pros

good salary and good benefits

Cons

Leadership often says contradictory things and lies. Some leadership comes across as incredibly rude and self-serving. Work-life balance is poor. Touting AI and saying they won't lay off people due to AI, then turn around and do that.
