Pros

no weekend work, infrequent overtime, very clean environment, decent pay although I was low-balled because of race despite having 10 years experience

Cons

VERY RACIST CULTURE, verbal abuse, lackluster training, ideas stolen, high turnover. Witnessed African-American employees being verbally abused for no reason. If you are Caucasian or a white supremacist then this is your dream company. If you are a minority you will be treated like you don't exist. I say "good morning' to supervisors and was totally ignored like I wasn't there. Also experienced childish name calling while working. Despite doing a great job everyday it's obvious African-Americans aren't welcome there.

While many employees write about our casual culture, there are some things we do not approach casually. Having an inclusive and respectful work environment is one of those things - and it’s essential to who we are. When we read your post, we were stunned. The experience you described does not represent who we are or strive to be. We sincerely hope you will contact our HR team or call the company's anonymous ethics hotline to provide specific details so we can investigate your comments. We take all feedback very seriously and hope you will engage with us constructively to resolve your concerns.

Pros

There is freedom to approach each project as you see fit. Strong support from senior leadership.

Cons

When several programs peak at the same time the hours start to creep up pretty quickly.

Pros

Great company to work that is cash flow positive, thinks long-term, cares about people. Lots of autonomy

Cons

internal data silos, lack of uniform internal guidelines result in folks reinventing the wheel.
