Look elsewhere

Pros

My immediate team is great.

Cons

Things have seriously gone downhill. Benefits slashed, very low pay and wage increases less than half the inflation rate. Completely tone def badge-in badge-out and time tracking policy. Arrive after 9am because of whatever? Have fun explaining it to your manager. Every time. Didnt realize i was flippin burgers at wendys after all this time. Notorious at H1B trapping, if you are in that situation, dont let them ruin your life. Even if you are seriously pressed for a job, please look elsewhere. There is nothing for you here. That espcially goes out to college grads. This is not the place you want to be.

It has a good work culture but may also depend on the team in some cases. Overall, the company is good for long-term stability, however, it is recently going through tough market.

Cons

Pay is not much when compared to tech industry.
