Pros

The money, but you work so many hours. There are lots of other benefits like CPS and tuition reimbursement, but the company finds ways to make sure you don’t benefit from it such as rampant firings before huge bonus payout.

Cons

No work life balance. Terrible toxic work environment. Everyone is terrified of being fired. Extremely racist members of management. It’s hard to exit because you learn nothing here. Management talks really poorly about individual contributors. If you get an offer elsewhere, do not come here. They frame it as a development program, but there’s no development or structure here.
