Cons

1. Hostile situation for Employee in the company and especially once you put down your paper. Management takes it personally. 2. Some of the worst compensation policies in the current IT Industry, 3. Communication is completely zero. Neither Managers nor HR will inform the important guidelines or decisions 4. Higher or even immediate Management is hardly reachable; you can hardly set 1:1 meetings as they are really not approachable. 5. Even after extending and slogging, hard work is rarely acknowledged and appreciated.

Pros

Pay is decent. Excellent 401k.

Cons

Management is very toxic. No one knows how to do their job and they refuse to give the employees a proper billing system to help make the job easier. Everything is haphazard, especially with management. They continuously pile more and more work on you with everything being the priority. Management never responds to your emails and micromanaging is rampant. The manager has a very condescending attitude and very toxic then wonders why team morale is low. If you ask questions about how to better do your job you are penalized. Management is not truthful, although they claim to be *transparent. You are given unrealistic goals with little or no guidance.

Pros

Diverse work force with a lot of interesting backgrounds. Great products that help the world.

Cons

Highly toxic environment, where bad behavior is constantly rewarded. Not much empathy or understanding towards work life balance. Long hours with little to no payoff. HIGH TURNOVER - Lots of highly skilled resources are leaving for better jobs because of the bad management.
