Pros

High starting salary. They are hiring smart people. They organise plenty of social activities.

Cons

They won't raise the salary even for the promoted ones. People are not smart enough to revolutionise the processes to make their job easier. Even if you manage to save time, your effort are only realised and not recognised. Important informations are not communicated by the management, so everyone is basically running blind. Trust is missing from the culture.

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!
