Pros

-nice technology and opportunity to learn a lot -chance to see a company that is doing well finally -many interesting people to meet -if you can play politic you can definitely success there -good benefits

Cons

-they don't focus on employees. they don't care if you stay with them or not -overall communication with management is terrible. There are some 1st level mgmt that are fine but majority of them are only interested in their own carrier and bonuses -commuting to chertsay is really bad -there are really nice people who work there but because work balance is bad you don't have a chance to socialize -stats driven environment; a lot of politic -came to Glassdoor because I'm looking for a new job. seeing so many high positive review about the company I'm very suspicious that many of these can be fakes
