      Don't even THINK about working here!

      Pros

      None. Work here only if you are on the brink of starvation.

      Cons

      1. The most disorganized and chaotic company I've ever worked for 2. You will be overworked to death and promised help frequently which will never materialize. 3. Low pay and laughable benefits 4. Most work here because they can't find work anywhere, resulting in an very high rate of turnover. 6. Almost everyone you will work with will be on a temporary visa. So, this is where all the "cheap labor willing to die" for a paycheck congregates. I don't blame the foreign workers, but the management does take advantage of them. 7. This company is everything, from the perspective of an employee, a company should NOT be.

      Employer is not neurodiverse friendly

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The company offers paid training and is heavily involved in pharmaceutical contracting.

      Cons

      This employer is not a neurodiverse friendly employer. I was terminated after requesting a reasonable accomodation for "code copying" and the employer has refused to negotiate with my legal team and will most likely challenge my unemployment leaving me in a financial mess. They also blatantly lied about their process for terminating me and claimed my termination was done a week before the termination. They continue to do shady things while claiming to be neurodiverse friendly and working with Specialisterne. Stay away.

      Pros

      my manager seemed to be looking out for me

      Cons

      The company loved to talk about how money they made, but refused to give raises or pay a living wage. The benefits were not good-insurance was expensive and didn't cover much. When the switched to "unlimited" time off, they started denying time off requests so you actually got less vacation than before but couldn't cash out when you leave. They constantly complained about their high turnover and asked for suggestions on how to retain people, but never actually listened to suggestions. There are no career advancement opportunities.
