      Fun team but poor organization and job insecurity

      Pros

      Fun team to work with, everyone was collaborative and easy to talk to.

      Cons

      The organization as a whole is poorly run. They’re constantly pushing leadership out and bringing in new people. They’re higher ups get paid a ridiculous amount, but you ask for a promotion or raise and they say there’s no budget. They also used to lay people off the 3rd Thursday of every month and it was a constant worry.
