Pros

This place is running out of bridges to burn, and that’s a definite pro in my book.

Cons

I’m sure I have a glowing 5-star review in here somewhere. That’s because they ask people in their first week to write one in order to get a free T-shirt. This place is the office equivalent to the Hunger Games. Throw 8 people in a pit, promise promotions and incentives, and let them duke it out. The person who backstabs best is promoted to team leader... wash, rinse, repeat. Seriously. They even give you a sheet of paper with your current salary on it, along with the salary of what you *could* be making if you’re promoted or “leveled up” (how many levels are y’all up to now? 8? 9?) Ask around if you’re in Oklahoma. I’m sure you know countless people who have been screwed over by this chaos of a corporation. You’ll read catchphrases on here like “grit” and “perseverance.” They tell people if you’re not a hard worker, you won’t fit in there. Read between the lines: it’s a fear-based system of management with a bunch of talking heads who serve only as a mouthpiece and a means to make money for a small group of people.

Pros

* Fast learning and professional skill growth. * Great people and strong teams. * Recognized name in the OKC community. * Valuable experience that strengthens future career opportunities, especially in Tech.

Cons

Over the past couple of years, career growth has felt extremely limited. Promotions and meaningful raises have become increasingly rare, and many employees believe these decisions are being driven from the very top. Layoffs and terminations have also become common, creating a constant sense of uncertainty. High performers often take on high-visibility projects with aggressive timelines and limited support. The expectations are unrealistic, and even successful delivery doesn’t usually lead to recognition or advancement. Leadership tends to make decisions very late, creating unnecessary urgency and forcing teams into last-minute scrambles. Benefits have declined, opportunities for advancement have become scarce, and overall morale has suffered significantly. There are talented people here and it can be a good place to gain experience, but I would view it primarily as a stepping stone rather than a long-term destination.
