Pros

Great benefit package, competitive salary and bonus. Pretty cutting edge in term of technologies used and equipments given. Great people to work with. Friendly work place environment, great location.

Cons

Support structure a bit bureaucratic, it's hard to get things done quickly on the local level. Senior managers tends to micro manage and control every detail. Hard to innovate under very strict environment, rely on process too much and not enough trust given to people.

Pros

decent pay and good name drop to add to your experience and resume

Cons

everything!! since this was a contract role I was brought in to complete a project with 0 leadership or direction. I was left to figure out everything completely on my own from finding a computer and a desk and a phone to figuring out who to contact in India etc to help me revamp the entire global website on the backend. I literally had to show up to work everyday at least an hour early so that I could possibly try to find a open desk sometimes I had to work on the floor or find somewhere in the lunchroom I could set up in the corner this went on for over a month.
