Pros

Theoretically it could be a good place

Cons

Doesn't seem to know what to do with the people and expertise they have. Very much not a family company, if you are not their family. Don't believe what you hear there. Very very poor onboarding process, and extremely poor HR - trying to cram all people into little molds that are easy to evaluate numerically.

It’s true that there can be tension between being a competitive business that’s healthy enough to last for generations, and also maintaining a unique culture that doesn’t always have to put profits at the top of the priority list. We’re always working to find the right balance. We’ll share your feedback for consideration.

Pros

You will not be bothered by people talking to you, benefits seem okay.

Cons

Don’t expect to be trained on anything. Management will expect you to figure things out on your own, request your own accesses and figure out what you need without any guidance. They’ll send people to you for questions on how to do stuff within your first couple days, not having taught you how to do those things.
