Pros

Independent work environment, reasonable benefits (but getting worst). Ok wage, but ... see cons

Cons

Everything else... company only cares about money, you don’t know until you’re already in the door, ie) when it’s too late. Avoid lengthy sign on contracts Ie) 3years. you will hate yourself any longer then 1year, unless you like to work every night and weekends. Direct management is powerless, upper management only cares about timelines and budget/ saving money. Also every October beware of downsizing aka, layoffs and some how it never makes the news. Little to no growth potential

Amazing company with great culture! All people are nice and willing to share their knowledge with you!

Pros

Work from home flexibility and the summer and winter shutdown periods are a nice benefit. Good health insurance.

Cons

Management style can be controlling and micromanaging with expectations that shift without clear communication. Employees are held to high standards but not always given the support or clarity needed to meet them. Performance concerns are documented quickly without full context being considered. Culture does not match the company’s public image.
