Pros

-tons of free swag, too much to even use (1+ free of almost every item every 6 months, plus high employee discounts ) -good break room: atm, vending, lots of seating, and microwaves/coffee makers

Cons

- short sighted: too many temps, refuse to direct hire 90% of the time -work you like a dog: legally minimum breaks, no water or bathroom breaks outside of those (like high school but worse) - poor management practices: when asked what is needed to complete tasks, they ignore your answer despite not knowing how your machine even works -No accountability : blames temp agency for being short staffed all the time, doesn't even know when or why people are getting fired

Pros

I work with diverse and supportive people. Teams and leaders demonstrate the will to respond to worker needs with kindness and respect. On the operational level, teams are highly flexible and adapt quickly to changes when provided proper support. Work-life balance is high priority for the people I interact with.

Cons

The company has difficulty holding on to talent in tech fields since a good chunk of the focus has to be allocated to art/design and production instead. CEOs come and go every few years, leading to instability. For some teams, the process remains overly complex and inefficient because of misalignments between leadership/engineering and ops team users. No formal humanist policy around AI & robotics yet.
