Reviewed on May 19, 2024

Current Employee Mr. San Francisco

What would you, or others, like to see changed at employer?
Have your managers actually manage the office. I'm not saying we can't socialize, but you have people getting paid and barely doing any work!

What were the things that you liked most about this employer?
They have a great office with great benefits. I'd often stay in for lunch because we were provided with free food and beverages. The offices themselves were clean and well kept, and it was generally a very decent office space.

What did you not like about this institution?
I really couldn't stand all the childishness that went on in the office. There was too much fraternizing and not enough work being done. Some of us had trouble working with all the joking that was going on--and this was every day! Favoritism ran wild here.
