Pros

The job itself is fulfilling and you learn A LOT very quickly. The people are great if they aren’t in management.

Cons

Everyone is on mandatory 50 hour weeks as a base schedule. Management is the definition of micromanagement. They set you up to fail constantly, and you can’t advocate for yourself. In the interview they told me they are a company of “best idea wins!” But I’ve only seen “management idea wins” and they always seem to jeopardize the mission. Because of bad decisions from management, everyone is put on mandatory 60 hour weeks. This is always the management solution . It’s impossible to feel good about the job with the management in place.
