Pros

Average Salary, bonus and below market 401K

Cons

No work life balance You need to stay in the same job position for at least two years before you can be consider for another role. No matter your professional background. Leadearship doesn't promote work remotely even do the organization and job position is designed to work remotely. They pretend to relocate and live in the office. Flexibility is only for friends of the leadership. Dont be surprised that employees with less academic preparation and experience act as they are in charge just because you are new at your job.

Some strong and friendly people. Great benefits.
