Pros

Senior management is very technical. Some of them still quite hands on compensation is good in comparison to peers Working with top notch people because interviews are tough and can take upto 8/9 rounds. Hire from top schools. Excellent training program for entry level positions. Software infrastructure is best on street resulting in more time spent being productive

Cons

Long hours Working with brightest also means very competitive Large percentage of salary is in bonus so its all about results and so people tend to take shortcuts compromising quality

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!
