Pros

How many different languages can I write NONE in?

Cons

Just imagine working for ungrateful/incompetent people at a toxic environment. If it sounds like a perfect work place then work for this company. Department leaders do not care about employees while barely managing their own workload. Terrible culture and values with overwhelming negativity. Oh and don’t let all of these ‘5 star’ reviews scam you into thinking that this is a great place to work. Starting with but not limited to: the pay, management, no training, turnover rate, fear mongering, micro-managing, one mistake you're crucified, useless HR, the list goes on and on...Don't make the same mistake I made and stay away from this train wreck.
