Pros

They will hire just about anyone and seem nice and very inclusive. Some can work from home and have flexible hours. Some had to work in the office and we're pressured to work over a lot to achieve unrealistic endeavors.

Cons

There is little organization, expertise, or structure for onboarding, training, quality feedback, at least for the new department. They give production work to the new leadership team, along with assigning numerous unqualified new hire direct reports who have no training, nor access to the required sites, tools and apps. They just get as much work from disgruntled disorganized struggling providers and promise commitments that cannot be fulfilled. You get to try and teach many new people wire line and underground cable engineering who are immediately billing against the client! Bad business model. A good place if you're looking for receptionist work, maybe. When their failure results in laying off the entire new department, they will set up a meeting with people you've never met to do the deed, and ignore you. Forget all the fake 'human' relationships they faked for the last 6 months. Most the people I worked with didn't have families so it fits. Heartless like the movie where Clooney fires people for a living. I witnessed this one at a time until it hit me. They pretended everything was fine even when asked. Very cowardly.

Pros

I met a lot of really nice people working there. Some of them will be lifelong friends. Very nice human resources. Company has a clear goal for its own future.

Cons

Extremely low pay for the work I was performing They will just add little things over time to your list of duties until what you're doing no longer even resembles your job description anymore, and when you ask for a pay bump in exchange for the extra work, they act like they're doing you a favor. Annual raises were surprisingly low. I wasn't expecting pie in the sky, I was just expecting at least the market average rate of pay for the work I was doing which, after researching, come to find I was making 15% less than even an entry-level engineer could be expected to make. The managers I worked under frequently had very little operational know-how and didn't seem to grasp engineering concepts that you'd think someone in the engineering industry at a supervisory level would know. They were good at managing the people - but the didn't know how to actually do anything regarding the work. Bonuses were laughable. Every year, the company made some kind of "record" profit, and sure we were given stock options, but it really just seemed like an elaborate tax shelter for the company. A LOT of the upper management seemed to be MAGA gun nuts, and I would hear frequent sexist jokes when they thought nobody was in earshot, which as a woman I really had no safe way to report.
