Pros

Very aggressive work environment. Opportunity to learn a lot

Cons

Company is too big. So reviews and compensation are globally driven so there is not much growth even if you perform great.

Pros

Good profesional and technical exposure at the easrly stages of career. Good verbal appreciations for hard work.

Cons

Company ethics long eroded. Senior Management and managers do not have a profressional approach. No work-life balance. If management identifies a resource to be hard-working, he is immediately asked to work parallely in multple projects. No transparency in promotions and appraisals.

Pros

If you find the right situation, the comp plan can turn out to be pretty good; work life balance was OK.

Cons

Little, if any, opportunity for advancement in the Sales team. Expectation was to turn over accounts after they were opened to another person (Acct Mgr or Client Partner). No real opportunity to get to know a client and work with them for an extended period of time.
