Pros

Wonderful people. Some of the most intelligent people I've ever worked with.

Cons

The intelligent people are leaving and the people replacing them aren't particularly bright. Teams have armies of project managers and very few workers. Upper management is in a state of flux and probably won't settle for another ten years or until the economy picks up again so the firm can focus on the top line instead of the bottom line.

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!
