Pros

5 stars for the company itself as far as level of technology and the services available to employees which is quite impressive for a company of this size. You will have your hands in all sorts of technologies right from the start. Benefits are great...pay is ok

Cons

Reviews are brutal in that they pit employees of like title against each other with only your manager to fight for you. It is tough to get very far if you are in shared technology services unless you have been there a long time or are Indian. Not enough time to learn technologies properly....more interested in being first to launch.

Pros

Environment was good, food was decent, free food at my location (dont know if it was allowed but it was good)

Cons

The rittenhouse location is managed by a tyrant, he is an incredibly toxic man and upper management make it the most unbearable place to work. Andy will ask you to come in on days you're not scheduled, and then hold it over your head if you don't. Talks about employees behind their backs constantly. No respect enforced employees talked about each other all the time and there was even name calling in meetings, management did nothing. Worst place I've ever worked in my life frankly and affected my mental health in the worst way. Glad to be out out of there. The place itself has potential but the management at the Rittenhouse branch and above them is absolutely terrible in every regard.
