As an engineer, I really enjoyed working here. I would recommend it to anyone at any stage in their career for the following reasons: - Smart Employees - Generous PTO/Perks - Interesting, cutting-edge work - Open environment for new ideas, regardless of job level

Cons

- Transparency from upper management could be improved a bit

Pros

Good company benefits, Free lunches

Cons

If you are a professional with significant experience, this is not the place for you. Work is repetitive and requires little to no lateral and creative thought for anyone to be competent enough to succeed. Those of you with experience, used to having responsibility, the freedom and trust to make decision, will grow frustrated and the bureaucratic and restrictive management structure. All training offered is focused on speeding up employees ability to produce alerts faster, but fails to add any significant skill set's that would serve you well in future employment. Promotion within the entire organisation is based upon people's willingness to stay behind late after work, even when there is no requirement, and also if they are in favour with senior leadership - and not how it should be, on their ability to do their job better than those around them.

WORST COMPANY TO WORK FOR

Pros

Honestly, its hard to highlight a positive as they are all outweighed by negatives.

Cons

For a tech company the infrastructure is way below average and the technology is outdated. Company structure is poor, and middle management make it increasingly difficult to do your job due to office politics. There is zero work life balance and you are constantly micro-managed. If you work in tech this is NOT the place for career progression, if you don't have a skillset and your job is to brown nose then you will flourish here!
