Pros

Great health benefits, retirement contributions, flexible time off

Cons

- Deeply rooted institutional racism that prevents black and brown communities from achieving success - Culture of favoritism - reminiscent of “in/out” crowd behavior that favors compliant white employees - Not a meritocracy - Extreme lack of trust and over indulgence on micromanagement. - HR does not adopt any of the policies / recommendations it pushes out to the business. - Below market pay - Fully aware of issues with no action plan to remedy RUN

Pros

decent pay and good name drop to add to your experience and resume

Cons

everything!! since this was a contract role I was brought in to complete a project with 0 leadership or direction. I was left to figure out everything completely on my own from finding a computer and a desk and a phone to figuring out who to contact in India etc to help me revamp the entire global website on the backend. I literally had to show up to work everyday at least an hour early so that I could possibly try to find a open desk sometimes I had to work on the floor or find somewhere in the lunchroom I could set up in the corner this went on for over a month.
