I love this company. I love working here with a very friendly people, fun and productive workplace. The benefits are great, great management and they take good care of their employees. We just have to move to other state that is why I quit my job. I hope that they will have a branch here in Utah so I can apply and work again in this company. Best company for me.

I had multiple department and boss changes in three years. Poor management. Saw many folks fired. No work-life balance.

Stocks. Cool technology.
No work/life balance. Backstabbing "looking out for number one" culture. Managers have no training .
