Pros

Good brand name and pay. Sense of pride amongst employees and very good talent of people working. Top quality infrastructure including IT and back office support.

Cons

Moves fast and very fast hiring process but also the same in reverse case in letting people go when the revenue is not generated. Think getting hired is a slim chance but staying in the company for longer is even more difficult. Favours the original team members over newcomers and very political.

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!
