Pros

Pay is pretty good. People who know nothing about the culture tend to be impressed if they see it on a resume.

Cons

Sadly, too many to name. If you are a free-thinker, this place will be torture. The lack of diversity at the company is truly startling. Almost completely white, male and from privileged backgrounds. Absolutely crippling non-competes. Honestly, there is too much to say about why you should avoid the company. I would urge you to reach out to former employees who can be candid with you before accepting a position!
