      Pros

      Not the same place it was to work. Was friendly and engaging, became very toxic and only got worse with every leadership decision. Not ERG no company incentives, no networking, bad management. My manager literally hazed me until my health deteriorated and still made me think I wasn’t doing enough. I don’t recommend it unless the name means that much to you. You will do better and get paid more at a smaller company with less bureaucracy and useless leadership.

      Cons

      90% of the job is cons. Turn over is through the roof. I’m sure they are inflating their reviews with fake positive ones. They pretend to be a cool diverse professional space but it’s not that at all.
