Pros

Great Pay and Benefits Nice work environment Flexible with work schedule/location can work from home some days

Cons

constant reorgs and layoffs replacing employees with onbshore contractors is a continued and aggressive trend Not even competition against h1b worker for it jobs, as they don't have the same expenses as cirtizens Must be able to "live with" training H1B workers who will take over US jobs

Pros

Smart people, if you're a marketer it's one of the best marketing firms

Cons

Long hours - not always thinking outside the box and hard to see what will happen when most of the world's payments will NOT be on the card but on a smartphone or computer
