Pros

Some autonomy. Moral is low enough in so many different areas of the firm, it's easy to connect with someone new on your shared contempt for the decline of the firm culture.

Cons

Management remains clueless (or unwilling to change) despite being explicitly told of low moral issues. Positions are not being filled when someone leaves, putting more stress on the unlucky few who remain.

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!
