Pros

Not many pros. Lot's of challenging work and that is problem as they don't staff correctly. You will do a minimum of two jobs worth of work and probably more. If the teams were staffed correctly, there could be some good learning to be ascertained.

Cons

Company is very frugal and is very archaic in topics like Work Life/Balance and giving its employees tools to succeed. It is a 24X7 organization and you will be required to put the company's priorities before yours. Not much flexibility and the employee's time is not respected or appreciated. From a business standpoint, the organization is very storm dependent and has not found many ways to break that dependency. Just check the stock performance for supporting evidence. Makes the future outlook very uncertain.

Pros

No background checks. Good for people needing a job quickly.

Cons

Where to start? Poor leadership on all levels. A bunch of talk about quality and the customer but are happy pushing out inferior product and dealing with it later, but then blame all the workers (via no quarterly bonus due to impossible metrics they have little/ no control over) instead of correcting the workers responsible. They are SO CHEAP. Cheap in pay, cheap in providing what employees need in a timely manner or if ever, cheap in benefits, cheap all the way around. They want drones, not humans. Very high turnover rate. A lot of promises and little follow up. If you sign up for the annual company picnic and cant make it, they take money directly out of your check for each person signed up to go. Poor training. Reactive, not proactive.
