Pros

You get a mac You get free coffee You learn to lie.

Cons

I wouldn't be surprised if this company kills itself in coming years. The system is filled with mediocre management who has no clue of technology. The remaining are the H1b's who were hired full time. They lie, manipulate and are shameless to the core and will do anything to survive. Since the company culture is to hire & fire, its normal to see folks vanishing without trace...Due to this fear no one trusts anyone. Imagine working in a team/teams who just wants to survive at any cost.

Pros

Benefits are good Work life balance is possible

Cons

Misogynistic/Bro-culture and favoritism - despite there being a group centered around Women in Technology, the actual team dynamics are very different Buzzwords are more important than good work Quality work is not valued as much as who can peacock the best Their recruiters will tell you what you want to hear to get you in the door instead of telling you what the job is really about Very disorganized A lot of bloated legacy systems manned by people who can't think outside their bubble Not friendly or beneficial to engineers that aren't fresh out of college

Pros

not any. it's so bad.

Cons

The issue with this business, is that associates are either managing too much, managing something they are not good at, or processes and setup at the business make it really hard to deliver results fast. AT THE SAME TIME, managers do not acknowledge this fact, continue to place harsh, unrealistic, and sometimes unsensible expectations on associates, and blame the associates for not working hard enough. These insufficiencies are well obvious in the day-to-day operation of the business. How can leaders blatantly neglect these fundamental challenges the business is going through? This is what pissed us off and why morale is low. What's so difficult about dividing the work a little more fairly? What's so difficult about putting the right person at the right role? What's so difficult about letting go some of your unreasonable expectations? And what's so difficult about reshuffling certain personnel (especially certain leaders) off their current role? Leaders who are trying to make a change, I really hope you take a look at this. No one dares to say this cuz if they did, chances are they will get the blame for being not good enough and risk getting fired. We don't even trust the anonymous surveys to be anonymous.
