Pros

Company reputation and job stability.

Cons

I can only speak of my own experience. The team I was in had micro-managing managers, mandatory face time, and hired people who were obviously overqualified for the job itself. The job was not challenging for many and could have been done in maybe 1 hour for some, yet everyone was required to stay and pretend busy. Some managers had an easier life than others solely because of their relationship with senior managers, not because of their ability to perform. It's expected that middle to back office roles are less demanding, still, good people should be rewarded, and work-life balances should be promised if possible. Unfortunaly neither happened during my time there.

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!
