Pros

Some really talented people are employed Company is well organised and professionally run in terms of logistics (HR, Legal) Some people share their experience and expertise which is really nice as they are high calibre

Cons

Riven with cliques in technology - particularly in the UK where fiefdoms are endemic. Americans take all the credit for work done in Hungary, UK, India and China. American management are more greedy than bright. Not open to innovation. Old and very creaky infrastructure which is vastly inefficient. Indian onshore teams invent work and are very ineffective. Worst job I ever had.

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!
