Pros

You can get far in the company if you're skilled and hardworking. Most of the employees are deadweight so you can stand out quite easily

Cons

Since most employees are deadweight, you have to stay on and do everything, meet impossible deadlines, go through multiple layers of meaningless bureaucracy and 'security'. Also forget about your social life

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!
