Pros

good internal resources good resume builder good community perks the experience will still help you get your foot in the door elsewhere

Cons

incredibly political to a fault. the review process is a joke so make sure you work for someone who will yell the loudest during promotion time since that seems to be the predominant methodology for determining who gets bumped up. Not that it mattyers since the firm is more focused on hiring externally. Culture competitive to the point of being counter productive.

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!
