      Pros

      It could potentially look good on your cv

      Cons

      The whole image they present is a lie. This is a top down organization that hides behind some amazing publications made by some of their staff. Petty, condescending team leads If you challenge anything you are called aggressive If you don’t get in with the in crowd you will actively be bullied out The values they pitch are never actually put in to practice

      Leadership needs to grow up beyond cheap politics

      Anonymous employee

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great learning environment both tech and culture. Client facing experience is good if that is your are looking for. Most of your colleagues would be nice and helpful. Work life balance is one of the best.

      Cons

      Few people trying to control the whole office and making it into dictator rule. Bootlicking is highly appreciated. Favouritism is becoming a prominent feature in the office. If you are not good at it, they will make sure either you become good in it or you leave the company. During your initial 6 months they will make you feel you are a complete idiot and whatever you know is completely worthless. Then they will try to make you a service based puppet who knows only one thing, that is follow orders.

      All employees are equal, but some are more equal than other

      Pros

      People, culture, multiple offices all over the world, benefits

      Cons

      Heavy on travel - you might need to travel 100% of your time and there's nothing you can do about it, this company runs on travel Pays less than what you could earn, especially if you've been there for a few years. Tells you that there is no limit for what you can do and how you can grow, but actually have some obscure ways of gathering performance feedbacks from managers that have no idea about what you do.
