Pros

People are good, hard-working, smart people

Cons

Sr. Management thinks only of Sr. Mgt. and their success and doesn't care about the success of it's Directors and other middle management. They hire talent but don't let them use that talent. It's all about whatever tactic you can execute the fastest to check a box and no regard if it's even right. To survive, you have to be all about yourself and willing to put others down, even if it's not accurate, so you can still look good. Not sure how these people aren't seen through but it seems to work. If you don't mind working in this cut-throat environment where there is no regard for an ability to develop a strong team or work as a team, then this is the place for you.

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.
