Pros

Good benefits, resume builder. People are really nice and will help you if you need it. Very lax environment where they let you do what needs to be done without breathing down your neck. Right now I am in the process of getting licensed so all I do right now is go into the office, read and take notes all day to prepare myself. Great vibe with people who actually enjoy what they do.

Cons

Waking up before the market opens on PST

Pros

Very good co-workers, Great technology stack. Lot of new technologies and integration with current work.

Cons

They dont even give you a MS cup. They ask you to buy it for 5$. So cheap! Management big on "Giving back", Immediate managers do not like it and are not supportive. Lay off employees twice a year to show profits. Only worried about shareholders and clients. Don't know the criteria for lay-off. So, you are always worried if it is your turn. They boast about mental health and wellness. No good, when they layoff employees like this. HR = Horrible Resources. When you are laid off, they shoo you away as if you are a fly. You feel miserable. They themselves say - "We are better than Facebook or Oracle. We dont fire you at 6 AM over email." Gosh! What a comparison!
