Pros

TC is amazing if you are hopping from industry or consulting.

Cons

You will wake up every day with imposter syndrome. By the time you overcome your fears, you will be let go. There is no clear direction from middle management and thus the chaos. There are multiple folks/teams trying to snatch away from a small piece of work that comes from clients. This also means, you are either hired to be fired asURA or they over hired to build their empire. Do you want to run politics or innovate? choice is yours. Did I mention manager feedback is fake? It pops up on your screen daily. If you give a bad rating then you are eliminated to make manager rating look good.

Pros

- Strong place to be early in your career as it provides valuable training and the brand recognition can create strong future opportunities. - Is great if you’re interested in what you’re doing/selling

Cons

- 5 days in office is not great for work/life balance - If your manager doesn’t like you, good luck! - 401k match is lower than most companies - Base salary compensation is weak compared to other big tech - Leveling/career progression is near impossible due to reorgs leading to a promotion “freeze” - Role can evolve over time in ways that may not align with original job expectations
