Pros

Good working environment, you can move jobs easily (usually you need to spend 2 years in one position), they learn your preferences and help you with them (eg. moving to another location, moving to another team, make the working time flexible), not all the time of course but within their limits, they always help. Career and development opportunities.

Cons

Demanding and stressful. If you want to reduce these, you need to work extra times. At the same time they are promoting to contribute to charities and volunteer jobs outside of the firm, sometimes feels like it was compulsory but with the extra working hours the question is: when?

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!
