Pros

> Work-Life balance > Benefits > Great People

Cons

> Starting stage: Interns get higher position just after the internship, Graduates don't get promoted even after giving strong performance for 1-2 years > Great transparency: Managers directly tell you to please before higher Engineers/other Managers to get promotion even if you don't work with them > No Learning > Only show-off works, not real work (Power points) > Re-org happens every 6 months, then reshuffle happens frequently in a team, your manager gets changed at every Re-org/reshuffle, Every time try to understand styles of different managers, different rules for promotion, different types of pleasing based on managers > You don't give correct reasons from the management behind not getting promoted > You need to ask for promotion even after giving consistent strong performances, then they will plan; that also depends on style of manager > Talk loud, Do nothing

Pros

Benefits are amazing, medical insurance, vision and dental. Company match on 401K and volunteer time off.

Cons

They keep making decisions to outsource jobs to contract workers who don't share the same value in training or customer care. Oh they say they do but when you catch the listening to music so loud you can't hear the customer, or literally snoring on the line they can't do anything because of the way the contracts are set up. It is up to the contract company and the contract company just needs warm bodies. They did not even supply enough people doing our busiest season this year to co or the shifts that were required in the contract. So good luck with that. They will always eventually lay you off.
