Pros

I had great coworkers, the building is new, cafe onsite open till 2 am, onsite gym, good benefits and the schedule wasn't too bad after you get used to it.

Cons

Upper management is blind to what goes on especially if you work a night shift. If you don't have a degree then it is going to be really hard to move up with them, they make it impossible. If you are an individual that needs to be challenged by management this job is not for you, only a few people get handpicked to succeed by management leaving the rest to figure it out by themselves. The review process is a joke!! They say it is individually based but they give everyone the same review.
