Pros

Snacks, good time off, no fixed ill days, a good training program, no formal wear required like some other companies, and the inception of new technology.

Cons

Bad management. They don't even give you your own cubicle. Overhyped company, which tries to be glamorous on the outside but is void inside. Old software, overworked people, low wage hikes, hostile to immigrants, biased performance reviews. Overall, a closed system where people either cover their assets or bully people around to get ahead.

Some teams are innovative; however, most are doing what they were doing for a long, long time. Overall, unreasonable people.

Advice to Management

Behave, be nice, be seated! Introducing senseless plans like quarterly reviews seems like school grading. Listen to team members rather than construing their concerns as arguments towards concealing incompetency. They need a good leader, not a bunch of egomaniacs and bullies.
