Pros

Some of the people there are nice to work with. They do important work.

Cons

HR is the worst I've ever seen at any company. They don't care at all about their employees and they are very mean-spirited. Need more support staff. Some of the executives were asking me to do personal work like booking transportation for their kids to go to the airport for vacation etc. Worst job I ever had.
