Pros

- Improving physical environment - better workspaces and food are in-the-works. - Great and epic possibilities if Terran R flies successfully

Cons

- HR policies are inconsistent. The HR department beholden to whatever your manager wants to do that day. - Key managers have no leadership experience and no interest in learning human skills. - No priority on employee education or advancement. - Questions on long-term company viability, about on par with other start ups.

Pros

-Lunch stipend -Pay is above industry standards

Cons

-Horrific management that lives and breathes the "996 hustle culture" (work schedule that derives its name from its requirement that workers clock in from 9:00 am to 9:00 pm, 6 days per week). Senior Directors expect you to be available and emailing from early morning to late at night. I repeatedly have my supervisor calling me well past 9 PM, always for trivial, non-urgent issues. If you don't respond, expect to have a stern talking to the following morning. -Micromanagement to the extreme. Every email you send, every word you utter is dissected and scrutinized to the nth degree. Zero freedom to utilize the skill set you brought to the company. Senior Directors are in the trenches scrutinizing the work of employees 6 levels beneath them. I've never seen anything like it.
