Pros

Huge on Training Diversity is Fostered and encouraged Colleagues are World Class

Cons

Performance review is 100% based on one person and if that person suffers from bias and racism, nothing can be done from the company to stop them from sabotaging your career. That person can set moving targets to justify you not being sufficient and subsequently getting fired. HR will not help other than to try and mediate the situation the help you feel better. Workplace investigation won't help they are only there to minimize the legal risk to thr company. If you work here and get a crappy manager, my advice would be to shut up and take it until you can transfer to another manager. No matter how much notice you make about the situation, your manager will always win and it's unfair and it sucks.

1. Lot of legacy application. They will hire as good coder but work is junk. Lot of firing. Every year , two time they fire at least 30% people from a project. if this year you save but ready for next year. No HR, only line manager is god here. Very very scary company.

Pros

Salary, benefits, experience, colleagues, office

Cons

Stress, overtimes, weekend on-calls, poor work/life balance, especially if you have family and kids. Still would recommend a company for young professionals for career launch.
