Pros

The fact that I don't have to be in the office anymore is a giant PLUS. No more drama, no more managers coming up and intimidating employees, no more useless meetings, no more office politics.

Cons

Everything they tell you about this place take with a grain of salt. The truth is worse. It is a very very very political place. It is very bureaucratic. It is all about PowerPoints, facetime and blindly drinking the Koolaid. If you are the type of person who will not question anything and will just follow orders without rocking the boat - you will do awesome here. If you have any amount of ambition and character you will not survive. Toxic culture, backward looking, underwhelming place that will pretend to be something it is not.
