Honestly, Don't Bother

Pros

Having been here a while, the best I can say is free lunches 2x weekly (pre-covid), coffee & snacks. And a paycheck but that's about it, sadly.

Cons

Not many good managers or upper leadership. Lots of power games & politics even with the new leadership. The new leadership brought in his own group of people and pushed everyone out. But cronyism still abounds with the new folks and remaining old guard. If you don't play the game and measure up as someone they think is worthy of promoting, you will get passed over and over until you either just believe them and think you have no value, or finally get fed up and leave. Not many people of color or LGBTQ, with the exception of a few they "highlight" to make sure people think they are woke. They aren't. The company has had it's heyday many years ago and will never be that again. Honestly, don't t bother.
