Not Worth It

Business Outlook

Pros

Absolutely none. If I had to name one, it was the ultra-modern office space.

Cons

Immature management. Company does not care about its employees, so it makes you work to death, reporting to bad managers to absolutely horrendous leaders, then it tosses you after it sucks the soul out of workers. Pay is not worth it.
