Cons

They have an interview process that is designed to eliminate U.S. candidates from being hired. They use lower criteria for H1B visa candidates. About 80% of the technical workforce in Arizona are foreign visa. If you do get hired, managers are not software developers yet they manage software developers. Supervisors are called Directors for some reason. They micro-manage direct employees while not holding visa workers accountable. Management in general dominates meetings and sucks the oxygen out of the room. It is all about the management team and their politics.

Advice to Management

You are aware of what you are doing and that it is intentional, so there is no use to advise.
