Pros

Multi-culture, good training resources, invest a lot money in IT (probably still not enough for the size of it and complexity of it). A fast pace company, you always learn new things.

Cons

American style working culture, which means long hours, not family friendly. A fast pace company, the documentation for the working process can never fully up to date. Promotion process is structured, but it's trying to squeeze most of you before you get promoted. High staff turnover.

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!
