Pros

it's one of the best brand names for your resume, salary and benefits are outstanding. everyone you work with is extremely smart

Cons

terrible work life balance (i was expected to be at work by 6am and to stay until 10pm or later), work environment is very "fratty" (expect to work with a lot of bros and type A bitchy women). there are also a lot of nervous breakdowns, and most people are in it only for the money. very very competitive atmosphere, and more catty than the fashion industry

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!
