Pros

Mobility Opportunities, knowledge sharing, learning growth, great work environment, excellent benefits. Overall a great company to work for.

Cons

Choose your area and your management carefully!!! In operations favoritism is a key (may differ from department to department), smart people and hard workers tend to leave the deparmtnets as there is little opportunities for career growth. Management promotes and prefers people that can 'talk' rather than perform, the true talent is not recognized. The operations management is also quite weak in managing people. Unfortunatley, people are key to maintaining a good balance of expertise and knowledge within operations (its all about people here). Other areas, especially on the business side are more straight forward.

Pros

Very good co-workers, Great technology stack. Lot of new technologies and integration with current work.

Cons

They dont even give you a MS cup. They ask you to buy it for 5$. So cheap! Management big on "Giving back", Immediate managers do not like it and are not supportive. Lay off employees twice a year to show profits. Only worried about shareholders and clients. Don't know the criteria for lay-off. So, you are always worried if it is your turn. They boast about mental health and wellness. No good, when they layoff employees like this. HR = Horrible Resources. When you are laid off, they shoo you away as if you are a fly. You feel miserable. They themselves say - "We are better than Facebook or Oracle. We dont fire you at 6 AM over email." Gosh! What a comparison!
