Pros

After 9 months of employment, none.

Cons

I was hired for a position, and the firm decided to remove multiple people from the job without any notice. Bonus structure was gutted, and managers proactively try to find any issue with performance to avoid paying discretionary bonuses. You can expect constant harassment from managers, and they will threaten your licenses if you disagree with anything they say.

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!
