Pros

The people there were really nice and helpful. The benefits are also very nice. Its a cozy and comfy place to work but challenges or interesting work can sometimes be hard to come by.

Cons

Tasks and client request can sometimes be dull, repetitive or just nonsensical. Known for being somewhat stringent on timing for tasks, and all details often need to be logged even when there are request errors or functional errors. Also has a history of large waves of layoffs and overestimating work load.
