Pros

Full company paid medical insurance after 30 days. I can't think of any other pro at all unless you count free coffee.

Cons

If you want a life, don't work here. I feel sorry for anyone not in upper management. Forget having actual working hours you are expected to be ready and able to work 24/7 but NOT with a salary to match. I have worked for large corporations before but this is by far the worst experience. Don't believe what you are told during the interview process, you are basically a cog in their machine and are given very little guidance. Make sure you are the right size and shape cog because if you are different in any way you are going to have a hard time. Anything negotiated before hire and agreed to by the company will disappear once you are hired. Some people work for a living and some people live for their work. Be ready to live only for work, cower to upper management like the other lowly workers and give up any thought of having time for your family.

Pros

There are no pros if I did not get hired

Cons

Pay advertised was not accurate * Lack of transparency in compensation * Wasted time and travel expenses I had a very frustrating experience with the hiring process. I attended the interview and was told my performance was “perfect,” which made it seem like I was a strong candidate. However, the role was advertised at a minimum of $30/hour, and later I was told the actual pay was closer to $20/hour. That’s a major discrepancy and feels very misleading. On top of that, I ultimately received a rejection despite the positive feedback. Between the misleading pay and the outcome, this process felt inconsistent and unprofessional. I also spent time and money on travel (gas) to attend the interview, which makes the experience even more frustrating. Overall, this felt like a waste of time and could have been avoided with clearer and more honest communication upfront.
