Pros

Lots of talented and technically strong people. Flat Hierarchy. Open culture. Good work life balance. Management listens to you. Opportunity to work at different locations. Opportunity to work with latest technologies and frameworks.

Cons

Not much technically challenging projects. Most of the projects are simple web or mobile apps. Too much focus/importance on speaking at conferences and using latest technologies, not caring enough of what suits best to the project. Higher attrition. So many good people have left the organization in the recent time. Overall quality of people is reducing.

Pros

Fantastic talent, great attitudes, minimum layers, open culture, liberal environment.

The company struggles between balancing between internal culture and accommodating to client needs. The engineers enjoy a lot more career opportunities as compared to other roles.

Pros

Good place for unexperienced people Some good people still in the company

Cons

Consultants are at the mercy of sales and management. Recently a large amount of experienced consultants have been leaving the company due to the way the company is managed, which reflects on the quality of projects being sold and how they are run. Travel can be very tiresome and in many cases it's arbitrary. Experience in different offices vary wildly. I've found that the USA is the most problematic country to work at, due to the politics, and sheer management immaturity.
