Pros

The compensation was good enough to work through the drudgery of the job that I had. The people were overall nice, but you never knew who would stab you in the back.

Cons

You can easily get into a groove where you are doing the same thing over and over again. Don't get stuck doing repetitive tasks! My job was on the border of being offshored, but it required a good handle on the English language.

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!
