Pros

Apart from a good salary, there seems to be nothing worth working for.

Cons

The Cary location is largely considered a cost lowering place compared to the UK and New York offices. Hence, all the directions come from largely the UK with some from New York. Positions of authority are also reserved from folks who come from the UK with some for people here in the US. If you move from the UK, then you are in good shape, else you need to be part of a clique. It is not important to deliver results if you are in a clique. Politics and nepotism rule the day. Projects and management can change in a hurry. Most of the projects are maintenance projects with the technologies being rather ancient. The word "scrum" is used a a panacea without really understanding how to execute on it.

Pros

Annual raises and variable bonuses, Hybrid schedule, kind people, lots of events for making connections

Cons

Difficult to get an interview unless you have a referral. Otherwise not really any cons, I’ve only been here for a year so can’t really speak yet to any hindrances that might come when trying to get promoted, etc.
