Pros

The company generally has a fast work pace, a diverse workforce, numerous growth opportunities, and equal opportunities. This location has flexible work hours and opportunities to interact with senior-level management.

Cons

Compensation and health insurance for this location are very bad, and there have been unexpected layoffs. Other location-specific issues include a hierarchical, at times authoritative work culture, poor growth, no exposure to external clients, and limited exposure to internal stakeholders. Program managers dictate everything here, but the company is open-minded.

Pros

Good people at the local level. The work is engaging and challenging.

Cons

Too many to count. Career advancements are extremely limited. Pay raises are minimal and don't get close to keeping up with inflation even for top performers. At the corporate level they are using acquisitions to hide massive layoffs. They return billions in profit to investors consistently, but there is still a constant threat of layoffs and multiyear freezes on pay raises even with inflation and solid corporate profit.
