Pros

Not many reasons to want to work here. They outsource as much as they can so your length of employment might be cut short too.

Cons

They treat employees terribly. Management appears to be on a power trip. They "meeting you to death," then schedule another meeting to hammer you as to why you are behind on your projects. When you get only 1-2 hours of uninterrupted time each day to do actual technical work, and the rest is sitting in irrelevant meetings, Microsoft Teams is also way over utilized and if you work from home, there are little boundaries around your "personal time." It feels like you are working 24-7, yet there is hardly any chance in the day to get your head into your work and finish it. It feels like they do not want you to accomplish anything. Also, they only give you 2 weeks of PTO starting for a higher job grade position that pays over $100k per year. Almost every company I have worked for and interviewed with gives a minimum of 3 weeks to everyone and several will give you 4 weeks, based on job/salary grade.

Pros

Worked the hrs I needed

Cons

Terrible management, favoritism was over the top. Too laid-back, high quit rate. Lazy employees who wouldn't do their jobs and left it for the 3rd shift to take care of.
