Pros

The benefits are nice and the buildings are nice looking. In addition to the pay raises and PTO they offer.

Cons

This company is an absolute train wreck, I came here with the intentions of doing actual coding development however like everyone they place you in s IT support role. The management is incompetent and so is all of IT. You won't have much to do starting out because the majority of your team will be something one trying to fix something because this company is so behind times. The lack of leadership, mentorship and absolute toxic company culture is appalling. If you were on the fence about joining this company please let this be the review to talk you out of it.
