Pros

Great use of technology and the continual output of unique technological innovations. Extremely high level of talent throughout the global firm. Opportunities to move within the organization and between divisions. Fantastic brand.

Cons

some poor management in senior positions that do not manage the organization appropriately, These provide unnecessary bottlenecks for progression of new talent throughout all levels and divisions. Requires revamping the yearly review feedback mechanisms to allow candid and anonymous feedback.

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!
