Pros

There are no pros to working here.

Cons

This company is run by sociopaths, people who, "dance without hearing the music," as they say. They have their own little Game of Thrones going on, and they love involving everyone in it. Even if you think you can just do good work, focus on your lane, don't make waves... All the VPs and C-Suites will make them *for you.* If you're looking for a place that is pleasant to work at, with meaningful work (don't fall for their "work on stuff that matters" BS), and kind people to do it beside- This ain't it.
