Pros

the management is great, and working environment is very professional. everyone is very nice, helpful, and most have the same goal to help the firm grow. each day is different, as you never know what to expect and the employees are very fun to be around. makes coming to work each morning very enjoyable.

Cons

sometimes difficult to have time off...RFE program is well-thought out, but it can be extremely difficult to obtain the top levels in order to achieve your bonuses. not much guidance is given aside from self taught / instructional videos you watch online.

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!
