My experience was very poor. I was lied to during the interview process and then the internal handling of issues and company direction was awful. Company has done layoffs and has had a new CEO every year over the last 5-6 years.

Good work life balance, nice people. Taken over by a private equity firm which has damaged culture massively through very high targets with not a lot of investment.
