Pros

Good company. They don't micro manage, as long as you do a good job you have some freedom. Make sure you like the industry.

Cons

Really stresses on participating in company events and networking. There are some inter-department gossip/drama.

Pros

Its hard to find so many nice people at the same place, I found it at dimensional. Now when you combine that with employees being smart and intelligent, its unmatched. I worked in a great team, learnt a lot. My learning at Dimensional in one year is more than I learnt in my entire career. I found direction. Tech leads, managers, team mates, everyone was wonderful and love helping and sharing knowledge. Great cafeteria Great benefits Made great friends Beautiful office

Cons

The company requires everyone to dress formally, a lot of Information technology professionals dont like that. Cant think of anything that I didn't like.
