Pros

Nothing but the name and fame comes with an old company.

Cons

Micro-management at its best!!!

Pay rate is at least $30K-$40K less than the market rate for the same role.

Recruiting and taking advantage of college grads who will do anything to land their first job is the norm here. They hire with very low pay and loads of work.

Multiple roles are squeezed into a single role with lousy pay!

Lousy and cheap tech stacks and tools!

Health insurance is subpar with high deductibles and little to no company allowance.

No wellness or technology benefits!

Hostile environment, lots of red tape, secret surveillance, cliques, coercion, and a fear-mongering culture!

Every couple of weeks, employee outbursts and demonstrations in front of the building are very common!

Advice to Management

Transparency and fairness
