Pros

Bevi and occasional free food.

Cons

Seemed like a great opportunity at first. Flying car company! I expected innovation and creativity. I was wrong, found that out quick. Leadership is set in there ways and seem like it will not change. They are afraid of new ideas and systems. As it'll take time to learn and/or it might have issues. The CAD system that was being used was so old that it would not work on newer versions Windows 10. The solution was to just stop updating Windows 10. The purchasing system is archaic and makes no sense. You can create a PO and get approval from 3 different VP's but it'll still be questioned. The whole process can be simplified by a purchase order system. It is also alarming that they do not put an emphasizes on security. People are not told to change default password and some systems do not require a login. There was an incident with passwords and it was brushed under the rug. Did not even bother changing the default passwords. Two step authentication was enabled which was a step in the right direction. BUT it was disabled after a few days because it was to much work for people. Power is consistently going out in half the building. Seems like they did not properly research the building. They are running heavy machinery on power lines that were not designed for that. The CEO has a terrible personality. He will not talk to anyone beside senior leadership. Little things will set him off and he'll start yelling. Does not even return a hello when you greet him in the hallways. There is so much wrong here and it does not get address. I do not see a bright future for this company.
