Pros

Good campus which I bet you will never have time to enjoy if you are a lead developer

Cons

I dont know where to start. In short management wants everything then and there although there are processes already defined by the company. In other words they say somehow make it work. And bonus point is no matter how industrious you are and how technical you are and witty in doing the things by surpassing the processes you will end up working literally 80 hours a week most of the weeks.

Pros

Good support for new people managers were very helpful and always available

Cons

Micromanage every second of your time; have to put in a request to go to the bathroom and wait for someone to grant it Expect you to put exceptions to your time after your shift ends on your own time Half hour lunch by the time I brought my lunch or heated my leftovers and went to the bathroom. I barely had time to wolf it down. Unrealistic call times Systems are horrible and crashing all the time expect you to be in at least 15 minutes before your shift unpaid to set up all the programs on your computer
