Pros

Benefits are good. I'd say the money is okay but the rampant sexism and overwhelming number of alpha males doesnt even make moderately ok money worth it.

Cons

Everything. Overworked, underappreciated. Management has no direction and gives the same while dishing plenty on fellow employees including your same-level colleagues and even your managers. Completely unprofessional in every way. No career opportunities for anyone unless you are a young and attractive woman that the team department head likes to hit on ... in front of everyone.

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!
