Pros

Free food, 100% paid healthcare

Cons

Awful leadership and lack of direction. My boss and group leader talked badly about a coworker behind his back to my face. I have gotten nasty comments towards me just for asking a question. If you ask questions to get a better sense of the work you are doing, you get dirty looks. Miserable culture. Excessive micromanaging. A business model that will fail like WeWork.
