Pros

Excellent management support for career growth and advancement. The environment is very positive and I feel my contributions are valued by both my co-workers and management. I also feel that the firm is very selective in its hiring to ensure that not only are we hiring the best people we can find, but the best fit for the role they're hired into. My experience with management and senior management has been direct, clear communication on the issues affecting the firm and on the direction the business is heading.

Cons

In return for satisfying projects and decent pay, the culture is long hours, often due to timezone spreads on global calls involving Asia, NY and London.

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!
