Pros

Decent Benefits. Opportunity to work from home, if your role at company can be done virtually. Many colleagues have strong background in their industry area.

Cons

Compensation is below market across the US. Work-life balance is non-existent. Decisions made to promote people into Management roles seem to be based on their ability to kiss up, not on their skill sets. Senior management and HR professionals do not proactively listen to legitimate concerns from employees. Extremely long work hours (countless nights and weekends). Limited bonus and/or other compensation or even thanks for jobs well done. Lack of growth potential, unless you are extremely political, cutthroat, and NOT a team player. There are not many people to look up to in senior management. You almost feel sorry for the management and senior management team, as they do seem to have much of a life not related to work.

Pros

Work from home, insurance policy

Cons

Managers will get upset when you ask about any work or ask for training. Do not join this company it will ruin your career. Very long recruitment process and after 2 weeks of training you will be required to solve the entire company’s problems, you are on your own with no help or training. If you ask for more training you will be fired and expected to do every task independently. Your colleagues will not help you.
