Pros

Excellent environment. Very knowledgeable co-workers and managers. They are also on the cutting edge in technology, incorporating new designs and ideas in all products. Management is easy to contact and the company itself is very open. Managers are very friendly and open and willing to sit down and discuss any concerns you may have. There are also plenty of projects for people to work on and they keep you busy; you are not twiddling your thumbs in the corner.

Cons

Work hours can be long during crunch times. Current economic situation doesn't help. Can be disheartening to see the stock drop over a week.

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!
