Pros

Great campus- very strong ATS

Cons

Horrible leadership- abuse their employees- extremely closed off hr leaders that refused to be transparent when any staff mistreated an employee. If u want to work where people are kind and warm steer clear from this TA and HR DEPT. they are definitely a process driven environment and do not allow for any learning curve so bring on the judgement and harsh treatment of employees. I saw a manager belittle and mistreat so many staff members the fallout of employees was happening fast and no one would even say a word- the manager gave my desk to another employee while i was working from home on an approved day- when i returned i was not even given my desk back- someone had taken all my personal belongings and no one even apologized. CRAZY UNHEALTHY WORK ENVIRONMENT

Pros

1. Lots of new technologies. 2. Continual implementation of innovative approaches.

Cons

1. When you move between roles, you're rated on the success of your replacement (which you won't hire). Making switching roles dangerous. 2. Lots of confusion due to large scale organizational change at a large company. 3. Lots of work. 4. Continuous instability due to changing goals/management.
