Pros

-Better than market pay (they need it in order to get higher quality people because the wise know better) -Free My-Fit-Food/Snap Kitchen and "Swag"

Cons

- Utter Chaos - Leadership is disjointed and unclear with their expectations - Management keeps wanting to run pointless Fire Drills that are not worth the time for the amount of information produced - Management wants to micro manage but with attrition is unable to handle their micro management capabilities - Everything is always "Extreme Insanity or Die" (CEO's words not mine) - Management is overly militaristic (note the previous comment) - They use Cognos and I am not sure if it is the product or the system managers, but it is slowest tool I've used since AOL DialUp in the 90s - Instead of paying any Employees bonuses or merit increases, the CEO gave himself a 8 figure bonus - DO NOT COUNT ON THE BONUS - IF THIS STILL HASN'T DETERRED YOU, GET IT INCLUDED IN WRITING ON YOUR OFFER LETTER.THAT GUARANTEES A CERTAIN PAYOUT AT A CERTAIN DATE. - Just laid off about 10-15% of the North American labor force - Don't trust the 5 star reviews. They are fakes from HR and other people that were incentivized to do so - For a company that claims to encourage ingenuity, it does everything to stifle that out. - Attrition is horrible. I came to work for a certain manager that hired me because of his vision of "my role", but he left (very wise decision for him) and I was left working for someone else that basically either barked orders or ignores me completely
