Pros

Benefits are good you will meet some of the best people here and coming to work is like coming home to family. we loved what we did and loved doing it together.

Cons

While a lot of the time the company was transparent, this mass layoff was out of the blue. they preach their values and principles and we lived them every day. i thought I found my place long term but everything I have come to know about this place is a complete lie. tenure didn't matter, how hard you worked didn't matter. we were in the dark about a lot of in the end it feels as though we were just collateral for their $2.2billion acquisition.
