I worked for them for a year as a contractor. That's one place I'm glad I don't work any more. Weird as fuck. The people there were normal but the policies and things felt cultish to me.
Could you elaborate, I'm very curious
So the main office, which I didn't visit personally, but some from my team did, was treated almost reverently. It was business professional dress code, even for technical staff, which seems really out of touch these days. Ties and blazer and suit pants. I feel like I remember casual work days were maybe once per quarter or less? And they were still business casual.
I heard things like you never, ever walked on the grass. Ever. Company affirmations and cheerleading. Things like that. And they would browbeat employees. Massive social pressure to conform and to make the company part of your identity.
Cult might be a little strong, but definitely creepy vibes.
Nope, "cult" is not too strong a word. Those are cult tactics.
