The leftover perks from the parent company were great. Team leads were very caring and worked to shield their employees from a lot of the "ish" that rolled downhill from management. It really didn't have the same toxic, competitive vibe you see at other tech companies. Good for younger graduates looking to get their feet wet before going to other companies in the area.

Department heads would often "lend out" hourly employees to do the work of salaried positions that normally required extra certification (project management, supply chain analysts, etc.) while also taking care of their hourly work. This (unsurprisingly) lead to a lot of employees getting burnt out and leaving before their six month anniversary. "Opportunities" for advancement were all too often lateral promotions or title-only promotions to temporarily boost morale while avoiding the industry standards for compensation and performance bonuses. The aforementioned burn-out created a Logan's Run environment where, outside of the highest levels of management, most employees topped out at 35, if not younger.
