Pros

Balanced Work Environment. Opportunities to learn. Good talented and passionate people. Open to talk culture.

Cons

Even after opening up to Manager about pay parity, only input from them was for that I'm from a Tier-3 college and HR guideline is to pay less when compared when compared to other colleges. Shouldn't pay be based on performance? Why is company, not able to evaluate a employee even after couple years of working? All my reviews and performance has been good but why wasn't normalization an option? Is there a misconception that people impacted, won't raise voice ?

Pros

Decent starting salary, good benefits, generous PTO

Cons

1% raises forever. Last promotion I got to Principal had no raise but a bump in bonus percentage. Now they are giving kids 8-12% raises and they have less than 5 yrs. Once you hit about 5 yrs you will get the 1% a yr and be pigeon holed into a specific job. Then good luck trying to change.
