Pros

Free snacks and coffee were good

Cons

This company does not care about its people. In the year that I worked there, it seemed every month 1 or 2 people would get let go without any explanation. And then it finally happened to me. Around 4:45 - 15 mins before I was supposed to leave for the day - my boss and HR pulled me into an office without any warning. My boss said "I wasn't meeting expectations" and nothing more. I was immediately deferred to HR without even a chance to process my feelings. Former employees I've spoken to have been fired this way too. Management is extremely shady. Let me say again, they DO NOT CARE ABOUT THEIR PEOPLE.

We are committed to a full and transparent explanation in the rare occurrence where we must part ways with employees due to performance issues. We are upset to hear this may not have been the case for you. It’s our standard protocol to provide detailed performance improvement plans designed to help the employee reach their fullest potential and continue working with their team. It's never an easy decision to part ways, but we are committed to building a company of dedicated, hard-working employees who are true team players.
