Pros

Really I could not find any...

Cons

but there are quite a few issues. I was laid off in 2015 for the first time in life. The severance was significant being a VP and I quickly got a job. But what baffled me was that how they are wasting money. Since then, all the folks in Boston area are gone. The strategy to begin was the problem but the second and third layers are supposed to pay the price. And the topmost layer is never touched. In the meantime, all the guys who were removed got their packages and most of them got the jobs. The problem is that the guys who replaced them also went through the same cycle. Seriously KPMG and other BS companies should review that behavior. I am not even sure what have they accomplished in the last 5 years.

Great programs for experience in fortune 100.

Cons

Cared more about building a program to attract interns than future employees.

Pros

• Decent benefits • Some good individual contributors and colleagues.

Cons

• Extremely high workload — regularly expected to work 60-80+ hours per week • Constant scope changes with unrealistic expectations and impossible deadlines • Upper management was disconnected and showed little concern for employee well-being • Highly political environment where internal politics often outweighed actual performance • Mass layoffs that eliminated roughly half the engineering team, followed by offshoring many roles to India — even after many of us had dedicated 4+ years to the company • Extremely stressful and unsustainable culture leading to widespread burnout
