Pros

- Some of my team members were great to work with - Building events for birthdays

Cons

- Horrible Management (middle management) - Lack of Diversity and Inclusion - Managers (and up) are lacking leadership and education - No room for growth if you are not a part of the boys club - Referrals are a joke - If you a woman of color it is almost impossible to be treated fair and a part of the team.

Pros

A great culture of mutual assistance and mostly genuine caring. Unlimited vacation and cutting edge technology. An A-list company, but starting to slide

Cons

1. The software used to be user friendly and cross-compatible, and now is not . Almost no customer can figure out how to use it without a PhD in computer science, followed by filing 17 help tickets for assistance. 2. The company ties itself in knots and is deranged obsessed about ramming diversity and women down everyone's throats, instead of just hiring the best candidate regardless of race or gender. Equal opportunity is not good enough, forced equal results is the goose-step of the day. 3. The company is chock full of managers, but very few leaders, and even worse, most of the employees are too young and too inexperienced to know and recognize the difference. 4. The sales organization is overly aggressive, with ridiculous expectations, and eats it's own. What gets left are the quota driving tyrants who put out goofy mission statements and sports analogies and use the word "passion" and "excited" every minutes. 4. Unlimited vacation sounds impressive, but if you want to keep your job, you will find yourself limiting it to 2.5 weeks a year like all the other successful survivors here.

Pros

Overall - Good product - Good Pay - Nice campus

Cons

If you are a female and not Indian there is no advancement. IT is full of Indian Management. All their objective is to have the work offshore. 85% of IT is Indian.
