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!

Pros

Great mountain views and you feel important (until you don't)...it won't last long

Cons

You are just a number and they will have weekly one-on-ones with you and make you feel like you are doing great and then just end your employment without any warning. I found out that I was let go through the temp agency when my badge stopped working and they force locked me out of my computer one Friday evening in March. It is a stifling atmosphere where nobody really jokes and you have to have a certain look about you like you're ready for Wall Street
