Pros

-amazing work life balance. WFH optional no-questions-asked Fridays, in/out times totally flexible -no micromanagement, manager isn't even on the same campus -great pay -most benefits extend to contractors/temps (like myself) -Great healthy food options

Cons

-lack of micromanagement also has lack of guidance, feels a lot like "figure it out yourself" which wastes some time without a mentor -I feel like 50+ percent of employees are temps/contractors...why can't they hire more people full time? It lowers morale -shuttle commute is brutal at times. It's wired but I get nauseated trying to work while in a vehicle
