They try to have an emphasis on diversity. Opportunity to grow if you are willing to relocate

Cons

Below average pay compared to other companies making it hard to fill positions. Very corporate environment and can feel forced and fake. No company culture. Boring company events, Lackluster benefits. Very much about who you know to advance you to the next position.
