Pros

The restaurant on their campus is nice.

Cons

Managerial planning and communication, severely lacking. Managerial confidence however, very high. Fake or forced feeling company culture. People asked to share about themselves in all-hands meetings, then laid-off days later. Blunders easily avoided with vision and planning. Not confidence inspiring. Bureaucracy and disfunction that severely hamstrings innovation. Unavailability of software tools for employees, and demonstrated inability in some cases to procure them. The ultimate "hurry up and do nothing" gig. Maddening for some. Pay was underwhelming in all silos compared to market rates. Executive leadership in denial.
