Pros

Highly intelligent and motivated people. Excellent facilities. Good pay.

Cons

As they grow they are losing their ability to look after the needs of their staff. Focus on financial efficiency and results at any cost are stressing people out and making it hard to feel appreciated or motivated. Moving a lot of their work to India and Philippines to reduce costs - so job security in EU and US is not great.

Pros

Great team up to director level. Good place to start career, however not many open positions in US

Cons

Contracts are often unclear not including all needed services, leading to financial overburn. The company relies on multiple tracking systems, creating inefficiencies and frustrations for employees, and prioritizes hiring in low-cost regions, which are known for high employee turnover.
