Pros

The company has a good brand name and many smart people.

Cons

There is tremendous turmoil here. The company has produced year over year record earnings and then, at Christmas, the executives issued an accross the board pay cut. That is not a joke. After cutting the pay the staff has remained unsettled with many top employees already having left, others have prepared resumes. This coupled with increased technical debt has not prepared them well for the future. The architectures here are very dated but the company is not in a growth phase. So they continue to patch new business features on top of a cracked foundation rather than investing in new solutions. For me, I'd prefer to select a company that selects modern approaches to keep my skills up to date. With many good opportunities in Atlanta right now, I would suggest a company that would value you.

Pros

Learnings. As it is a product based company, you can learn a lot.

Cons

1.) Job Security. If you are directly working with onsite people, then your job is at at most risk. Myself worked with onsite folks having 20-30 years of experience. No matter how you perform, they never get satisfied due to huge experience difference. Hence, they ask you to leave. 2.) No Team work Again, if you are working directly with onsite people, they is no concept of team work. You wont get any support from, them no concept of KT, and at the same time, they expect you to deliver on time. Those people have been woking in the same company for the last 15-20 years and they expect the new joiners to work similar to them. If you dont (ofcourse you cant, to be practical. No concept of KTs, no team work and still they expect 8 years exp person to work like a 30 years exp person), then they fire. I have seen firing 3-4 new joiners because of performance. To be honest, It was not performance. It was lack of "Common Sense" from onsite folks.

Pros

Good cafeteria and fitness center

Cons

Long working hours. Non-stop, overloaded work. Nepotism. No work life balance. No career progression at all. Incompetent managers play politics to stay in job. If you want to screw your life and career, this company is the perfect place for you.
