Pros

Lots of internal opportunities to volunteer and network on projects outside of your area.

Cons

Managers tend to be self focused and not interested in the career growth of the people who work for them. Internal mobility is encouraged, without any pay increase, and will likely put you at a disadvantage during layoffs. Creativity and outside the box thinking usually is not encouraged.

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!
