      Pros

      The money is good when times are good.

      Cons

      This is a cut-throat company that routinely lays people off. There was just a mass layoff of thousands of people and another one coming according to WARN papers filed with DOL. Laid-off employees are treated like criminals, literally shutting down computers and phones while they are in the process of being terminated. As if that isn't enough, people working at the company continue posting all over LinkedIn and social media about the importance of mental health, supporting employees, etc. Really tone deaf. A company cannot profess to care about their employees while laying them off by the thousands just so stock prices can go up by a few cents.

      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!
