CEO approval

Business outlook

Pros

Pay and benefits were great. My direct manager was fantastic

Cons

Working environment on the team I joined was highly toxic. To the point where if I knew it was as bad I would have never accepted the job offer. Ended up staying 9 months before finding another job.

Leaving this place alive maybe the best thing can happen to you here!

It is the most toxic place I ever seen in my entire career. They will destroy your mental health and well being. The system supports and encourage toxicity and dishonesty and punish integrity.
