Pros

A decent company to work for with C-level management that cares about employees more than usual.

Cons

I started as a contractor here, and during the hiring process to full-time I was promised a different hourly rate than they actually offered and told there was no reason HR should have agreed to that. And I was not considered for the position despite no one applying due to KPIs that I had not heard about. Within a week I met the KPI goals (I had previously been focusing on different projects), but I had to wait nearly 5 months to get the full-time position.
