Pros

Location. Worked in other companies their systems of accessing docs and opening new accounts requiring approval of various departments are one of the best.

Cons

Depends what group or area is worked for. I understand other groups where as widely publicized that you can work from home and be able to raise a family my area was all about show, everyone stayed as late as the boss and when the boss was away of business trip they left at decent hours. I was sick one day and was still asked to come in even though I had worked from home all night and was still able to be logged in. Their computerized systems shows when your computer goes to sleep to whomever has you listed in the internal IM system, so they know that you are logged in working even from home, but that was not enough.

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!
