Pros

It has a strong culture of excellence, smart people, and is a meritocracy; there is very little hard politics in the organization. The pace is fast and the work very challenging, and the people around you are most focused on getting things done, and done well.

Cons

Can be high pressure some days. It's not bureaucratic but sometimes the drive for consensus and input can slow things down.

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!
