Pros

Good food on campus, free company swag, and great benefits.

Cons

They work you like a dog until you burn out. Then you get kicked out by being placed on a performance improvement plan you can’t achieve.

Chaotic work environment and no work-life balance.

Advice to Management

You are not Amazon. You don’t pay Amazon salaries. Stop trying to be something you’re not. Have some humanity.
