Pros

good benefits package and retirement perks

Cons

take notice on all of the recent reviews. the overall rating for the company is 3/5, all the 5/5 reviews come from india, and all the 1/5 reviews come from the states. that is because that is where the american company that serves american clients is sending the jobs of the american workers. how is your motto "retire in equality" when you've just massively laid off thousands of hard working, long time employees in the middle of a bad job market all in the name of "cost cutting" when all the while your c suite travels daily by private jet and the ceo pays millions of dollars to make cringey rap songs with celebrity features. when thasunda jumps ship for some nonsensical woke politician's cabinet opening at a low point after she finishes digging the hope for the company, i can't wait for the schadenfreude seeing the board break out the surprised pikachu face
