Pros

Remote Work and flexible working hours.

Cons

During the interview process they promise, all kinds of different bonuses and pay increases for performance and cost of living adjustments. You'll be lucky to get a $100 gift card bonus and a 1%-5% raise once a year, if anything at all. They'll ding you on anything to lower your 1%-5% raise around review time. Expect a 3% raise on average. If you're promoted they give you the title and responsibility increase and wont give you a pay increase until a "90 day probationary period" is complete and they will not give you back pay for those 90 days.

Pros

Literally nothing at all, predatory, underpaid, overworked, illegal slave-like practices.

Cons

The staff consists almost exclusively of a roster of desperate people trying to get experience, or people from other countries with a lower cost of living. They put unqualified and inexperienced people in higher level positions because nobody wants to work for the pennies they offer, those people get an ego headcase and cause destructive issues across projects and take no responsibility at all. The company seems to be in a perpetual state of either an existing project disaster, or heading towards the next one with fantastic incompetence. The managers take zero accountability for their decisions, actions, or for their company as a whole. They respond to the chaos they create by leaving their undervalued staff rescue every situation without any support. You'll spend most of your time pandering to the managers narcissism and egotism, or suffering their outlandish ignorance. Save yourself the trauma and look elsewhere unless you like being paid essentially minimum wage and trying to navigate absurd obstacles with no help and then get yelled at while trying to do your job. They have been reported to BSEE, NMFS, BOEM, etc. for illegal work practices and I hope in the future they get out of this industry entirely or a massive lawsuit entails.
