Pros

There is nothing good to say.

Cons

The company prides itself on being lean and nimble, yet, once hired they expect you to cut corners, work 60-70 hour weeks everyweek and not complain. HR gives no support whatsoever but the run around. Do not even consider this company. They don't honor their core values and they pit teams against each other. Very unhealthy place to work. Very stressful and game playing.
