Pros

I love this company for the atmosphere and culture that is created. I do not want to leave due to this. It is very hard to find a place that you really love to go every day.

Cons

The pay is less than most other companies in the industry and could really be better. The raises are only once a year, even when you take on a new role in the middle of the year. This causes some resentment and a feeling of being undervalued.

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!
