Pros

Intelligent people to work with. Employees worked very hard and attempted to meet deadlines. Very nice atrium in middle of building.

Cons

On the projects, the managers and team leaders constantly pushed for more and more They were never satisfied and gave very little recognition. All that is important is billable hours. The regular managers care very little about their employees and give them very little career support or guidance. Many people are on ego trips and are very rude.

Pros

It was a good company. I was able to learn many new things in my first phase of my career. So it is really a good one.

Cons

As it is a big company, the overall exposure towards any single software is very limited. This was a small concern.
