Pros

Name on CV is the only advantage.

Cons

Unethical management at all levels. Poor technical skills in middle management combined with aggressive attitudes to mask their insecurities. Managers stroll in between 9.30am - 10am and then try to insist others in the team come in for 8.30am. Total face time company - worst in any company I have worked wtth. The very worst of what investment banking has to offer to society.

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!
