Pros

you will learn a lot in a short time, because you are asked and forced to do a lot

Cons

the CEO is plain crazy, and the entire senior management follows his lead. this isn't the company that will take care of its people. most stay out of fear of the unknown. the company style is very military, break you then rebuild you. by the time you get out of there you'll need therapy before you start someplace else. Do yourself a favor, look for a job somewhere else.

Pros

-Better than market pay (they need it in order to get higher quality people because the wise know better) -Free My-Fit-Food/Snap Kitchen and "Swag"

Cons

- Utter Chaos - Leadership is disjointed and unclear with their expectations - Management keeps wanting to run pointless Fire Drills that are not worth the time for the amount of information produced - Management wants to micro manage but with attrition is unable to handle their micro management capabilities - Everything is always "Extreme Insanity or Die" (CEO's words not mine) - Management is overly militaristic (note the previous comment) - They use Cognos and I am not sure if it is the product or the system managers, but it is slowest tool I've used since AOL DialUp in the 90s - Instead of paying any Employees bonuses or merit increases, the CEO gave himself a 8 figure bonus - DO NOT COUNT ON THE BONUS - IF THIS STILL HASN'T DETERRED YOU, GET IT INCLUDED IN WRITING ON YOUR OFFER LETTER.THAT GUARANTEES A CERTAIN PAYOUT AT A CERTAIN DATE. - Just laid off about 10-15% of the North American labor force - Don't trust the 5 star reviews. They are fakes from HR and other people that were incentivized to do so - For a company that claims to encourage ingenuity, it does everything to stifle that out. - Attrition is horrible. I came to work for a certain manager that hired me because of his vision of "my role", but he left (very wise decision for him) and I was left working for someone else that basically either barked orders or ignores me completely
