Pros

Great culture, everyone is always learning more. People here are very smart and good at what they do. Compensated lunch M-Th and free snacks throughout the day make coming to work less stressful.

Cons

The compensation isn't as high as other companies in the same sector but very appropriate for the work/life balance.

-competitive salary for fresh grad -environment is great -provides non-monetary yet highly valued perks/activities -Corporate Social Responsibility is well-supported by the management -HMO is comprehensive and includes dependents -no pension plans or share

Cons

-though there are alot of opportunities in terms of promotion (quarterly), the job offered is not fulfilling in the long-run except when the vacant is managerial -though above regional wage increase, salary adjustment is very cheap. -job becomes complicated due to frequent changes in policies (with the department i joined) - : no long-term pension plan (like retirement benefits, shared-based compensation

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Growing company, people are young/fun/energetic, travel perks, immediate responsibilities, not micro managed, non-monotonous work flow, location of offices, lunch paid for, performance based pay increases, recognition for hard work, great benefits package

Cons

Long hours, demanding clients, work/life balance at times is not equal, no bump in pay for promotions (performance only), many performance goals and automated metrics for calculating, "can't say no to clients" attitude leaves employee bearing lots of project work.
