Pros

If you like unnecessary meetings, join it.

If you don't want to work, join it.

If you are a fresher/intern, join it.

If you want to work only to pay the bills, join it.

If you like "bila-bila" (management), join it.

If you want to get an Apple i-5, join it.

If you want your H1B visa, join it (later on they apply for a green card also).

If you want to be proud of this company, join it (at least friends/family/relatives will respect you... Lol).

During my work, I always felt that I am on a shopping trip with my girlfriend. If you can act like a good boyfriend, join it.

Cons

If you respect your intelligence, don't join it.

No contribution in 401K plan (1:0). No yearly increment (not even $100 yearly). Very expensive city (rent minimum $1950 for a 1 BHK apartment). More than 90% of people are not technical but have good management quality.

Advice to Management

Please don't hire guys from Tier-1 companies, because you don't want to learn anything.

This is not the end of the road. You are not making the first car on this planet. So be on the ground.

Open your ears and eyes, and let fresh air and ideas come in.
