Pros

It's all about looks here. Everything in the company is shiny and bright.

Perks used to be very good, but most of them have been removed.

Cons
  • Almost no growth potential.
  • Impossible to get into management unless you are blessed by folks who have been there for over 20 years.
  • No work-life balance. You will have to take support calls after midnight, about 2-3 times a week.
  • The skills you acquire here are of very little use outside.
  • Join only if you are very political and want to work there more than two decades.
Advice to Management

-You guys know most of your talent has left in the last few years, and you are the reason. -When was the last time you read any technical material?
