Pros

Great curry aromas in the break rooms at lunch since most employees are Indian and bring their lunch to work. Free parking.

Cons

Notice they recently received some low scores from employees. Watch now, as marketing plants phony reviews saying how great things are, in order to raise the scores and keep the trend line from dipping. Sad. They continue to turn over good people as soon as they figure out that these guys are a one-trick pony. Recent departures of senior managers, technical folks...it's always the same: you need to invest in the future if you want a future, but they don't. They just hold on and hope that something will change.

Pros

Ceo is good. Good benefits. 401k, medical plan is good. Decent pto policy. Wfh and remote work policies are good You get to work on mission critical systems and can see impact.

Cons

There is no respect of your personal time. Some dev/delivery Managers have no engineering background except of a degree and they cannot offer solutions. Hence, the dependency on team is so high for every little thing. Folks higher up in the chain engage in activities that violate code of conduct and ethics. Work spouse are common place here. Some people are home grown and in leadership positions and do not know how to handle crisis, and large programs. Some leaders get to move around easily when they cannot handle work complexity, and pressure and due to this genuine folks have to suffer (in short rules bend behind scenes) (open bias). Leadership will stand for their favorites [bias] and save them even after failing to deliver and innumerable customer escalations. Few architects shout and believe they know it all.
