Horrible pay-I made 40K. Managers show favoritism, hardly any women in management, tons of micromanagement or management that has no idea what they are doing

Great benefits that's about it

Competing against peers. No work life balance when peers work overtime and you have to try to compete with that. Feedback given to management and no improvements as a result of feedback.

Pros
Work life balance and no restrictions in work timings as long as we complete the work on time. People with potential will obviously grow here. It will encourage and pay for you to learn new stuffs , make use of it.
Cons
Very little Onsite opportunities as the head count is grown dramatically in the last few years and their primary focus is on cost cutting and bring more work to Offshore.
