Pros

None- with the latest actions coming from the executive leadership to sue mid to low level management employees who left in 2015 (please note that in previous years, several employees left for competitors with no legal action taken), this is no place for anyone with any level of talent to place on their consideration list for a new career opportunity.

Cons

The list is just too long- so here are a few key reasons: 1) The owner has checked out and allows his executive level hires to make a myriad of poor decisions daily. I would like to believe that the owner is unaware of many of these actions, but that in itself is a problem. 2) The executive level hires cannot spell "leadership", let alone showcase any strong leadership traits so that others can follow by example 3) The culture is one of "every man for himself" with massive blame placed on anyone who cannot figure out how to hide and deflect. Moreover, their is an overtone of mean spirited and vindictive behavior from the executive team.

Pros

With the exception of some teams, company culture is great. Opportunity to work on some cool stuff

Cons

Super strict on in office attendance and recently culture has taken a hit because of it. Also compensation and career progression aren’t very good past year 1.
