Pros

Compensation, benefits, vacation days, unlimited sick, museum passes

Cons

There is ZERO leadership training. Upper management is filled with unqualified "managers" who should not be in leaderships roles just because they are more experienced. "Managers" have an absence of any sort of innate leadership qualities. Just because you can play the game, does NOT mean you should be a coach. They act like you do not understand, belittle your opinions, don't acknowledge your ideas, use your past to avoid their present wrongdoings and inject fear in you to conform to them . Teams consistently suffer from burnout, no one provides direction , people are constantly complaining about how unhappy they are everyday.

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!
