Pros

Good money.

Cool, stimulating work.

People can be cool.

Management is trying to care; it’s just less of a priority than making money.

Never felt any significant racial bias against me in my time there.

Cons

Workers show large emotional ranges because, s***, it is actually just tough.

Bigger on negative reinforcement than positive reinforcement.

They are a company, and their goal is to make more and spend less money. This is very apparent.

While you are there, you will assume a significant amount of responsibility.

Advice to Management

Do whatever you can to make it a lower-stress environment, and people will stay longer.

Positive reinforcement goes a long way.

It’s fine if you don’t fire underperformers, but high achievers should be rewarded (incentivized) with more money.
