So awesome.
In actuality the place is a total madhouse. The turn-over rate was around 25% when I worked there, and since there is no objective performance review, you have no idea if you are going to be one of the 25% that’s let go. This leads to ass covering on a scale not seen since the guys that designed the Hindenburg tried to save their jobs. Total chaos.
