      Poorly managed

      Real time analyst
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Decent benefits, perks such as sports and social and wellness app. Lots of nice people

      Cons

      You are not valued here. You will be expected to do far more than your share of work. You will be berated and micromanaged for not being able to stay on top of the workload. Lots of office politics with managers and if they don't like you they will make sure to push you out or make sure you can't succeed here.
