Cons
They hired a VP of HR who doesn't know how to recognize talent and is biased in hiring
Going to HR is a waste of time
Get to the real root of the issues in this company and dont waste time with meaningless initiatives or strategies that don't help this company
The office environment is fantastic - because of the people. I look forward to being with, sharing ideas and working towards a common goal with talented people.
