Pros

NOT EVEN ONE EXCEPT FREE PARKING , FREE APPLES

Cons

You are very disposable and undervalued if you become an employee here. Almost on a weekly basis someone is either being fired, forced into resign or let go, thus the atmosphere is very dismal, unstable and depressing. Some of the people I worked with were great, but about 90% of them aren't even there anymore. You should run far away from this company or if you end up working here you may become a scapegoat for their poor management decisions. VERY BAD MANAGEMENT AND WORST PEOPLE SURROUNDING YOU . ONLY ONE WORD ABOUT THIS COMPANY IS , ..... IF U WANTED TO SPOIL YOUR LIFE, CAREER... YOU CAN JOIN
