Pros

nice office catered lunches, 5 to 7s lots of leads coming in

Cons

Lots of fake. This company definitely has AI in its future - especially the hipsters in HR Dax and his associates have entrusted with hiring. The tools who work in HR are a complete and utter joke. Can't wait for AI to replace all of your jobs
