Pros

Work life balance is decent, but it depends a lot on which team you work in.

Cons

Too many to list, but here are the most obvious and cringe-worthy: Micro-management: Managers in this company are hell bent on making sure that any associate does not have a free moment to himself or herself during the work hours. It is very common for managers to make a note of how much time associates spend in taking bathroom breaks or going for lunch across the street, taking a call on their personal mobiles, and constantly looking at associates' PCs to see if they are browsing any website other than the company's intranet, etc. Subservience to “Senior Leadership”: Most managers address a group of executives who sit on the company's fifth floor in the headquarters' building as "Senior Leaders" or "Leadership Team" and they sometimes rebuke associates who refer to somebody in this group with their first name. Any discussion regarding a directive from this group is swiftly swept aside with a simple response: "our leaders have decided this. So, we must follow". Extremely top-down: Associates who have even a shed of doubt or express skepticism about the company's business practices, or other aspects of the business are looked upon with great suspicion by most managers and it's not uncommon for such associates to be targeted for dismissals in the near future. Rampant favoritism: There have been many instances in which people have been laid off even though their managers never felt that the performance of such associates was unsatisfactory. In many cases, this has been done to retain other associates who were on good terms with a Director, having worked with them for a previous employer. Total lack of honesty: In the company, it is common knowledge that layoffs are frequent and sudden. These are done on the pretext of the company comparing itself to a startup which is constantly evolving and adapting to the marketplace. However, this is all an eye wash. Associates are laid off a week after a company's C-suite executive throws a free lunch to celebrate success and the affected associates' managers claim they had no knowledge about the layoffs. However, the same executive has planned in advance a call in which he shows the company's organizational chart which does not include the associates who were laid off earlier in the day. So, the managers lied to their associates about not knowing that they would be let go. Lack of Ethics: A senior executive's former employer is suing him/her for trying to tap former colleagues and a slew of law firms are looking into possibilities of securities frauds.
