Pros

People there were friendly and hardworking Great office facilities Promotes work-life balance Very racially diverse and skillset diverse

Cons

Each department runs completely differently. There isn't a unified company culture and most are often unaware of what's happening company-wide. They also are big on hiring temp workers that they like to bring in and dispose of frequently and it disturbs team synergy. Terrible onboarding process.
