Pros

The benefits are okay nothing special. Otherwise there’s nothing really positive about working here.

Cons

RUN.... Where do I start? Based off of my experience working here I would say it was miserable, out of all my jobs that I’ve had which is like 8 this would be the worst place I’ve worked at. Unprofessional, and disrespectful. Last minute changes without you knowing, will treat you like a high schooler, literally it seemed like a high school project. The manager was not involved in the team, team lead has a Napoleon complex, talks down to you and treats you like a kid. No training material learn as you go and have to do everything their way otherwise it’s wrong even if there is another way of doing it that’s more effective. No work/life balance.
