Pros

Great Training, opportunity for raises, 24 paid days off for full time not including paid holidays, 401k, opportunities to gain experience in different departments and fields.

Cons

Many lateral moves available and not enough promotion or career paths for growth. Experience can depend on manager, this can be good or bad.

Pros

Good work environment. Higher management is very approachable and understanding. Plenty of opportunities for working in different countries, even for new employees. You get a premium account with the HSBC bank which is really nice. Very good training programs for employees, some them are really advanced. Office space is excellent, loved the events and parties.

Cons

Employees using niche technologies have extremely monotonous work and less scope of advancement. Lower management is prone to taking bad decision. Commuting options are bad, especially for employees working odd shifts. Too many processes to follow to the point you spend more time following processes than doing your work. Many of them are practically useless.
