Because you have expressed a serious concern regarding our overall outlook and selection processes, we would welcome the opportunity to connect.

Some of the people are talented

Cons

Zero work life balance, you will be treated like a middle school student. They will not listen to employee feedback, and will monitor your in office hours expecting 9 hour minimum days.
