Pros

Great people (non-management) and opportunity to work with satellite international companies.

Cons

Absolutely zero work life balance, almost felt like boot camp - where the company strives to break smart, talented, dedicated employees until they have breakdowns. HR was well aware this was occurring, and never addressed the managers / director who were promoting this type of pressure. It seemed that keeping the teams under staffed and overloading employees with more work than is possible to complete, this saved the company money. (money saved = bonuses to upper management) The full timers did not get overtime pay, yet worked close to 70 hours a week (if not more). The salary was below competitors in the area and raises were between 1-3% per year. Employees that work hard seem to be dismissed, where the "yes men/women" who won't speak up, get rewarded.

Pros

Great perks and benefits! Free theme park tickets, cable, peacock subscription. Good place for interns

Cons

Entry level pay is very poor and not sustainable. Lot of politics when it comes to promotions and it is based more on relationship with management rather than actual performance. Upper management just takes all your work and presents as their own. Fake it till you make is at every level of this organization. Hired people as remote and now is laying everyone off.
