Pros

Very good in terms of work load and understanding managers. I really enjoyed the people I worked with as well as the work environment. Everyone was very helpful and my managers really knew how to ramp up my work so I never felt over-worked, but at the same time, I never felt underutilized.

Cons

Sometimes long hours necessary, no full-time positions open. I was there when Hector Ruiz was in power, but now he's gone. Hopefully the company direction will really turn around now that Dirk is in charge. He always seemed like he had more of a clear direction, whereas Hector seemed to spend too much time trying to chase one thing, then jump off to chase another.

Pros

Very exciting work, so much so I work 20hours a day. No distractions from silly/fun events. Food is meh so I can focus on work. Coffee is also very mid, not good, not bad but mid.

Cons

Not enough work, I only work 20 hour a day, I still have 4 hours to sleep. And on the weekends, we still have 3 hour leisure time. We still accept People who gets hired expecting to work only a measly 80 hour week.
