Pros

- In IT, I found most of the people to be high caliber: i.e. smart, proactive, very good work ethic, respectful. - IT management is open to ideas from all employees. - You work hard, sometimes long hours, but there is also emphasis on work-life balance. - Very good salary and benefits. - If company has a decent year, and if you did your work well, the bonus is very good.

Cons

- The process for getting promoted (e.g. from associate to VP, from VP to ED) is not good. I know employees who were outstanding for many years and still they were not promoted.

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!
