I don't recommend it

Pros

A generous maternity leave policy of 6 months - but beware - you won't have a job to come back to. We've seen it many times.

Cons

I've been here long enough to see leadership lie straight to our faces numerous times. Getting screwed over isn't a matter of IF, it's a matter of WHEN.
