Pros

Great flexibility in team switching. Career advancement within the company. Goal-oriented approach. Talented and great people around. Very good benefits and PTO policies.

Cons

Immigration policies are crude and inconsistent with the rest of the industry. This makes employees wait a full 6 years on H1b to start their green card process. Delays in the application process lead to employees preferring to leave the company.

Advice to Management

There is a dire need to change the company policies on immigration and green card applications. We need to change the small law firm they use for their employees. It's a fantastic company to work for. People don't want to leave but are forced to leave because of this.
