Pros

Some very smart and talented people. I still have a number of friends there. They are ALL currently looking.

Cons

Management doesn't have a clue. AVP role is given away like candy. There were a number of recent promotions that were flat out laughable. FYI : AVP is like a manager in any other company.

Pros

Relocation benefits at onsite compared to peers are good. Other than that nothing really.

Cons

* Pay is pathetic at onsite. * Promotion - Only if you are a Brahmin (north/south) * Management - They treat you like you are their unbonded slave. * Work - Company should stick with doing QA, they are pathetic in other domains. * Work & Life balance - NOPE forget it. Nightly calls Kills you and the Account Manager will expect you to be at work by 8.00 AM. * Work Culture - Highly political, ass licking / boot licking guys will survive. * Not a place for people with brains.
