Pros
  • Good stock appreciation during COVID.
  • Good opportunities to learn about payments and security domains.
  • Generally friendly co-workers, people who assume good intentions and who help their peers in good faith.
Cons
  • Socialist performance appraisal system. 'Meets expectations' gets a 2% raise. 'Exceeds expectations' gets a 3% raise! In order to get 'Exceeds', one has to work 10-12 hour days regularly and be a Yes man to middle management.

  • Too many folks on work visas in the US means they cannot say no to managers, thereby spoiling work-life balance and team culture for themselves and their peers.

  • Too many people from a certain country in Asia. Cliques and groups are common.
