Pros

A paycheck and benefits- but mainly a waste of time. The company is full of nepotism and stupid people.

Cons

The CFO is very unprofessional; he often sent emails in the middle of the night. The company hires and fires rapidly; it's not uncommon for 5-6 people to be in the same position in a year. The manager didn't provide any leadership or guidance on any of the projects and was often evasive and rude. The team would have 2 hour meetings to discuss how to get out of doing projects. This is a place to go if you need money, but keep looking. They will fire you without notice via text or a phone call. The company hits the targets to avoid getting called out by government oversight for cost/labor mismanagement.
