Pros

Great name recognition. The firm provides second to none quality training. Very healthy and respecting environment, which seems to vary branch to branch quite drastically..

Cons

Changes are made quite too frequently. Although frequent policy changes bring ramifications, it is clear that those changes are being made in an effort to promote the work environment and betterment. Also, with the process of joint venture, it is somewhat inevitable.

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!
