Cons

- No Room for growth unless you were are apart of the click - Management hires friends from previous jobs - Especially Facebook friends - No regard for the work and initiatives placed for the organization - Management has no clue how to lead - Your ideas are overlooked - Racist Leadership - If you're not White or Asian or Male - No need to apply - CEO cares more about adding to his Billions at the expensive of the employees and Shareholders. - Investing in this company is like burning cash - Layoff's and Position Elimination was done abrutly and rudely. An Email was sent for a meeting to bring your personal belongings. 1 Hour Later lives and families changed with no remorse while Evan allocated 638 million in Bonus money to himself.
