Pros

Bright people, excellent facilities, lots of opportunity to contribute outside the core remit of the job; good exposure to senior management from core locations, as they came to visit often.

Cons

Firm not making money, swirling the drain, top talent leaving to find appropriate comp in other firms and especially other countries; overpaid expat managers clueless about local conditions.

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!
