Pros

Nice furnishings in the office in a great location.

Cons

- Managers did not appreciate any good work. - Often worked overtime (I did not charge these hours). - Was not paid on time. - They micro-manage you. - They did not pay me on time, calling me in to work in December 2017 even after timesheets had closed so I was unable to claim hours. - After submitting my hours from late December 2017 in early 2018, the manager had a go at me. - Manager would not shut up, saying the company had invested in me. It was really insulting. - They do not teach you. - There was discrimination in the team. - One time, my manager was looking for a file while I was on the computer. We were both staring at the screen and I clicked a folder because I thought maybe the file was in there. He threatened to fire me for that. That's an example of the bully-type of environment there.

Pros

The people and the work we do.

Cons

None really. Could use better pay consistencies and recognition of those who do well and are rewarded as such.
