Pros

Can get interesting work sometimes (but way too much)

Cons

Everything else! They say they have values and everyone is like family. But everything goes against the workers and headcount seems to be decreasing despite justification for 0 bonus (yeah...that’s a thing) reported as a need to avoid cutting headcount. Almost all recent positive reviews are former employees who left before unreasonable work demands became routine. Look for yourself. You’ll see. I feel like this company has completely changed from one of promise and fairness to screwing workers at every chance. It’s terrible and so disappointing. I wouldn’t accept my offer if I could do it over.
