The most toxic work culture I have ever seen

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Good benefits and pay if okay. There is good compensation for beginner engineers

Cons

They will over work you to the bone, if you are on the client side you will see why everyone there is either really young or really old. It is a company not everyone wants to stay at. They will over work you, there is no documentation yet they expect you to make new code within 6 months. Some of the managers are nice but the rest are so toxic I might as well have worked for Elon Musk.
