Pros

outstanding benifits package provided. Lots of time off, great health medical and dental coverage. Project work available as well as operational work.

Cons

Senior site management fails to recognize on-site talent and resources. Teams are very silo focused with little to no cross team functions. individual failures are not corrected and allowed to fester.

No career growth and domain is also the worst.

Pros

For those who want to settle down, this is a good company. But, there won't be any further growth, also the domain is not a good one.

Cons

Worst domain and organization to work with for those who are dynamic and career oriented. Also, internal politics are very common.
