Pros

Great onboarding program & Benefits. Company embraces remote working arrangements.

Cons

Administrative staff is not as valued as the Engineering core. Engineers are permitted to treat administrative employees with less respect. Human Resources appears to have no power in the company structure to correct these issues. No room for advancement in Administrative area - company always feels there is 'someone better' on the outside, which means internal promotions are few and far between.
