Pros

Next to no pros, other than adding a fancy title to a resume.

Cons
  • Lacking and underqualified leadership.
  • Little to no care about employees (offers Lyra therapy sessions, but employees must take PTO in order to use them, among others).
  • Lots of promises, but never staying true to their word.
  • Extreme levels of nepotism.
  • Recruiters either straight-up lie or have no idea what they are talking about.
  • Will lay off even if you are overqualified or more qualified than leadership's favorites.
Advice to Management

No advice can save the management as it is corrupted from the ground up. Those hired in leadership positions are abysmal at their jobs, with few exceptions. The standout leads/supervisors who actually cared and improved the project all mysteriously got laid off.
