Pros

Quick hiring process, interesting work

Cons

Mismanaged, horrible internal software, dishonest hiring practices, unprofessional environment. Had my manager turn to me after interviewing an older gentleman and telling him he got the job, only to state that he was "too old," and would get the idea once no offer letter was sent. I was hired for a clerical position, only to be set to physical labor once I started. Pay is awful as compared to other companies. Efficiency? What's that? I implore people to avoid this place.

Pros

- Remote work - Easy and rote work, usually involving the same technologies over and over again - Likely to find at least one other coworker who is also miserable, to commiserate together

Cons

- Pay is below market rate for positions - Little-to-no opportunities for upward movement nor lateral movement, in employment within company - Overly reliant on single, massive clients - Work was tedious and monotonous for ^ this reason - Atrophy of advanced skills, which were never needed for this job - Vulnerable to implode if a single massive client pulls out - Company touts "green" and "eco" conscious values, yet company is actively, hypocritically, engaging and ramping up its contracts with massive oil companies in Western Asia
