Pros

The company has secured an impressive project; however, the workload distribution among the teams is unfair. While you can expect various benefits such as apparel and food throughout the workweek, it's important to note that this may not be the ideal place for those seeking a fulfilling career beyond just a salary. It is worth mentioning that the company's social media posts primarily aim to project a positive image rather than accurately reflect the work environment.

Cons

This is particularly evident in the Indiana offices, where the work culture serves as a stark example of white supremacy. It is ironic that their so called Inclusion, Diversity and Equity group is led by a white person and and there is a noticeable absence of women and people of color in prominent positions within the office. Work assignments are unfairly distributed among those close to managers or who happen to be white. Despite the industry trend of hybrid schedules, remote work is strongly discouraged in the office. Those who work remotely are indirectly informed that their chances of promotion are nearly nonexistent. Unfortunately, the negative work culture permeates many groups within the company. The actual experience of working here is far from the idealized image portrayed on social media or different groups within hte offices. If your goal is simply to survive in your career, then joining this company may be an option. I have seen people working in the same role for years.
