Pros

Health insurance is pretty good.

Cons

Absolutely no work/life balance.

Pay for new college grads is very low compared to the average salary given to such individuals in similar roles.

Meetings tend to be held very early in the morning (9:15 AM or earlier), and you MUST attend in person.

The facilities suck. The workplace doesn't even have coffee or hand soap in the cafeteria.

They will lie in their offer letters. I know at least two people whose offer letters promised them a role as Business Analysts, but they were placed in technical QA roles after.

They don't do any coding interviews when hiring new talent.

If you're a foreign employee, they will not assist with immigration/naturalization services.

Advice to Management

Improve the cons.
