Pros

I don't have any pros

Cons

The culture is non-existent. Everyone is in it for themselves and will throw you under the bus the first chance they get. They are mean, back-stabbing horrible people and wouldn't recommend this company to anyone.

Pros

Challenging KPIs to meet, highly driven culture, adequately compensated. If work life balance is important, this is not the place for you.

Cons

Employees are very stretched, managers are only concern about growth and drives people hard ; doesn't really hear/understand concerns and issues

Pros

Competitive environment with strong leadership and opportunities to grow. Better than average benefits, and a total compensation package that is aided by extremely strong stock performance.

Cons

Many things are decentralized and sometimes lean is taken too far, but hard to argue with results.
