Pros

Great people - fun, intelligent and full of energy High quality products that people can take pride in Good corporate integrity

Cons

Poor work life balance - long hours, extensive travel, and weekends You would think a company this size would have better processes in place, especially on boarding but that is not the case.

Pros

Good benefits if you get hired.

Cons

They mostly hire temp employees so they don’t have to pay benefits, but you aren’t temp. You are full time.
