Pros

Reputation and Resume Building and working with very smart people

Horrible work environment. Unfriendly people. Totally unqualified managers and too many of them. Advancement has NOTHING to do with skill levels or abilities but politics

Great company, horrible culture and management

Senior financial analyst

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

I loved the experience and the importance I got from my position, but leadership needs to dissolve and start fresh. They save money by cutting spend on employees and get praised for saving money. Management doesn't care about you. It was a very selfish and toxic environment. The CFO Lynda was a nightmare calling on weekends, demanding work, hiding her manic personality behind a twitching smile.

Cons

The CFO and upper management are horrible people.
