Pros

1. Very less work 2. Good place to relax when you feel you have worked more 3. Exposure to Large Scale Telecom software systems 4. Trying to work in Agile way 5. Yearly one office Sponsored Outing 6. Parties / Dinners for every release 7. Decent Pay 8. Exposure to Open source technologies

Cons

1. Poor Roadmap, you are hired for one technology you end up working in other technology. 2. You tend to forget the technical stuff that you already know, unless you are motivated enough to do some learning on your own. 3. No travel opportunities 4. Typical Politics in Play in the Mid Management Level 5. Abuse of Agile, Mid management over fits waterfall in to agile 6. Lethargic Recruiting Strategy, Many people do not have work in the areas of their specialization. 7. Spikes of work at times of Releases and Middle Management expects you to work over late nights and Weekends to finish it

Pros

-Technological superior to most other companies with use of AI and promising future tech/programs -benefits and pay are very competetive -room for professional growth and advancement if you know how to work in a corporate environment -resume development and professional advancement

Cons

-leadership ideology doesnt match the company/CEOs mission statement or belief (company is said to be all for safety yet leaders get put in charge and quickly dismantle and lay off 3 quarters of the safety department) -Leadership changes structure to benefit themselves by having all support functions report to them instead of the CEO, this ensures all support functions take a back seat to production and financial gain to include their employees well being -Company restructured and reorganizes very often while showing no loyalty to the employees who work hard and want to stay, this leads to turn over of great employees.
