Pros

Good culture, brilliant people, top industry player. Overall its a great place to start a career you deal wiht really big important client relationships and the managers are very willing to help you learn. Very much a work hard-play hard atmosphere. Work very long hours but almost everyone I work with is down for a good time on the weekends. Almost every person in my analyst class is from a top tier school and is very intelligent, but more importantly, they are fun people to work with and have a real personality.

Cons

Large, bureaucratic--you know your place in the chain of command, long hrs

Pros

Very good co-workers, Great technology stack. Lot of new technologies and integration with current work.

Cons

They dont even give you a MS cup. They ask you to buy it for 5$. So cheap! Management big on "Giving back", Immediate managers do not like it and are not supportive. Lay off employees twice a year to show profits. Only worried about shareholders and clients. Don't know the criteria for lay-off. So, you are always worried if it is your turn. They boast about mental health and wellness. No good, when they layoff employees like this. HR = Horrible Resources. When you are laid off, they shoo you away as if you are a fly. You feel miserable. They themselves say - "We are better than Facebook or Oracle. We dont fire you at 6 AM over email." Gosh! What a comparison!
