Pros

They have an excellent technology training program for folks straight out of college. New trainees are all brought together for a few weeks to train toward a common minimum denominator so they all hit the ground running, and they crete an excellent network throughout the firm. In my experience, responsibility assigned has been based on merit, so there's decent recognition of achievements and contributions. There's also a lot of support for mobility within the organization if one feels they're stagnating or want a steeper learning curve. The compensation (up until last year) was a pretty fair mix of individual performance and the larger team and firm achievements.

Cons

There are a lot of very bright people and it becomes quite difficult to differentiate yourself if you're in a large team. Promotions are hard to come by and you need to constantly push your supervisor for consideration.

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!
