Pros

Cheap lunches are probably the only perk I can think of

Cons

Lots. It used to be a great company for a while. The company doesn't know what it wants to be. At one point they were on track to be a software company, but never got over being run by business people who know nothing about Software. Projects are sold to business leaders by other businesse leaders saying they will take months, when realistically there is no way they could be done in less than a couple years. For a company that nobody has ever heard of, you sure can pull up a lot of results about their shady business practices on Google. Promotions are carrots on a stick and reviews can depend on internal politics that have nothing to do with the person being reviewed. As if the pay wasn't already bottom tier anyway. Everything is mismanaged at every level. Verticals are constantly being spun up, inevitably fail, then move on to the next failure. I firmly believe this whole company is propped up by silent investors, not a consistent income.

Pros

Strong ownership, opportunity to manage people early, great people, nice campus. You will work on interesting problems and external companies. Great training if the space interests you.

Cons

Business future is uncertain, up or out management principles. New senior leaders somewhat disconnected from the day-to-day. Commute from Charlotte is horrible.
