Pros

Decent benefits, but they come with the price of your soul.

Cons

Brutal layoffs non-stop to people who have put in many years of passion and dedication, and worked their life away for this company. They don’t care about you at all. They just pretend to. They’re slowly taking away all the benefits that actually mattered. The current CEO Ynon is a two-faced slave driver who flat out told us all in a Town Hall that he changed our vacation structure because people would take less vacation this way. I wish I was joking. Also, zero upward mobility.

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.
