Pros

There is nothing redeemable about this company from an IT standpoint.

Cons

Everything bad about an H1B 'culture' company. Like most H1B companies the workforce is underpaid and exploited and the managers (mostly foreign born Indians) are hostile to non-immigrants and operate as if they were running a Mumbai call center. They will do everything to underpay, overwork, and exploit the working relationship. When confronted they will lie and/or ignore your emails, phone calls, etc. This would work well if you were in Mumbai or New Delhi. However as an American Company they need to do better. Just do yourself a favor - say no and look for work elsewhere.

Pros

Great benefits. Everyone is friendly and helpful. They do more than just pay lip service to work life balance

Cons

Like any job, the manager is the one that can make or break the position

Pros

Great benefits (PTO, healthcare, etc.) for FTEs

Cons

Everything else - Carousel of management changes - Vague and ever-changing role/job descriptions and associated metrics - The constant feeling that we're all about to be laid off but must "prove" our value in the meantime
