Pros

Some nice people and decent benefits.

Cons

This company is a sinking ship that's laying off people left and right, haphazardly cutting and rearranging departments. When they laid me off, I received, without warning, an EMAIL on a random Tuesday, letting me know they couldn't afford to keep me on. I called my direct supervisor — to get some explanation, or hell, even a sincere "goodbye" — and she didn't pick up my call. She didn't return my messages. After two years of working remotely for them, they GHOSTED me. No explanation, not even the courtesy saying "Goodbye," or "Thanks for your hard work." Stay away from this company.
