h1b visa sweatshop

Pros

Pays well. Stable. Sponsors visas. Nice sinecure for the unambitious.

Cons

This place is full of h1b visa holders. They work 100 hour weeks, and if you don't do the same, you will be toast. They create a culture of corruption and patronage similar to any crony-capitalist third-world country, but on a higher pay scale. You are a slave and your ideas are not valued, because your success is a threat to your boss. There is a chain of 12 levels of hierarchy here. Endless politics. The better you are, the worse your life will be.

Pros

* Really good name in the industry * People are very nice * Yeah, the pantry ;) * Keep up with the most updated news. * Overall great office atmosphere

Cons

* There is really not much room of development (career-wise and skills-wise) for temp, it does look good on the CV though. But somehow one must take into account of their future career development, try to look for a chance to become a perm. * Seriously underpaid (as a temp, which is expected I suppose)

Pros

nice building, free snacks, good company reputation

Cons

middle management is mediocre at best, micromanage most employees, long hours with not many "thank yous" = little appreciation and little life/work balance, pride themselves on transparency but really only tell you what they think will show transparency, not expected to ask questions or the reason why behind concepts
