      Pros

      Very high pay. Seriously, this is honestly the only good thing about working here and it’s what keeps people here

      Cons

      Extremely toxic culture from the top down. Leaders micromanage relentlessly, goals and metrics change constantly, and there’s a pervasive fear that you’ll be fired at any moment. Many employees describe the environment as toxic and hostile. Insane restructuring. The company constantly restructures teams and processes, making procedures more convoluted rather than actually improving anything, it feels like chaos with no real direction. No real work‑life balance. You’re expected to commit to long hours and hustle culture. Work/life balance nearly doesn’t exist, and time off is basically useless because the work piles up anyway. Micromanagement and rigidity. Mandatory schedules (8–5 with mandatory lunch breaks), badge audits, and managers watching your every move make you feel like you’re back in high school. Performance pressure is brutal. If you don’t hit quota fast (often unrealistically high), you’re out — sometimes within 30 days of starting. It’s sink‑or‑swim with zero compassion. High turnover and layoffs. There are constant firings and layoffs, and people regularly share stories of coworkers being let go suddenly, even close to personal milestones like maternity leave.

      Pros

      * Fast learning and professional skill growth. * Great people and strong teams. * Recognized name in the OKC community. * Valuable experience that strengthens future career opportunities, especially in Tech.

      Cons

      Over the past couple of years, career growth has felt extremely limited. Promotions and meaningful raises have become increasingly rare, and many employees believe these decisions are being driven from the very top. Layoffs and terminations have also become common, creating a constant sense of uncertainty. High performers often take on high-visibility projects with aggressive timelines and limited support. The expectations are unrealistic, and even successful delivery doesn’t usually lead to recognition or advancement. Leadership tends to make decisions very late, creating unnecessary urgency and forcing teams into last-minute scrambles. Benefits have declined, opportunities for advancement have become scarce, and overall morale has suffered significantly. There are talented people here and it can be a good place to gain experience, but I would view it primarily as a stepping stone rather than a long-term destination.
