Pros

Great benefits Work space is comfortable and ergonomically minded Fun events

Cons

As mentioned above, the company itself is great. However, the management in the Finance-related department needs to be re-evaluated. The people in the upper management have no regard for the welfare of their employees, especially when many sacrifices are made to meet deadlines and quotas. Loyalty and strong work ethics are not appreciated and favoritism sadly exists with employees who do not uphold these values. People are left feeling afraid to express valid concerns on improving morale, workflow processes, and efficiency. Too much time is being spent on gossip and not enough on the business and welfare of the company and its people.
