Pros

Big company that has alot of potential to grow adn become a leader in the industry.

Cons

Does not feel like the CEO and managment value employees. No real perks, no fun, and no raises. You will have to leave to get the money you deserve. Seems like they refuse to hire from within.....even if we have earned it, you can forget about it.

Pros

you can gain deep networking experience, Stocks.. I can't find find any other con, it was definitely a bad working experience.

Cons

Huge workload - awful micromanagement from Team leaders that were changing the rules depending how did they woke up in the morning. -Completely sick environment with managers and leaders trying to promote and relief from workload only the persons that they like. -Not sufficient training for the depth of the knowledge that was required. -Leaders were assigning tickets outside of engineer's skillset as a revenge because they didn't like them. -Management was offending Employees with racist Jokes and ironic comments. -Management was acting like a closed organization by promoting or giving increases on salaries or even more forcing Engineers to quit.
