Pros
- Comparatively better work-life-balance than other big firms - Used to have a very great employment reputation within the industry - Used to have great colleagues - People used to make good changes and take good initiatives to change the working environment
Cons
- Use remote desktop to perform daily work. Very sad... I know. - Craziest office politics by the middle management I have ever seen in my entire life. - Your raise doesn't catch up to inflation - Back-stabbing culture makes smart and hard-working people lose faith and leave. - Clueless middle management never failed to come up with previously rejected change-initiatives by the end of the year. I sometimes question if their memory retention is only as much as goldfish. - The firm doesn't really give warning letters and fire people because they will need to compensate for your three-months salary. They will instead ask you or force you to resign, convince you that they will give you a good reference, but then when you leave, you will only be left with a bad and possibly-libel review in your employment record to destroy your career. You think it's a fair game to play nice and maintain quality work until the end of your employment? Think again. - People are in constant fear of middle management as they are basically given free passes to do whatever shady things they want during the cost-cutting phase, such as picking on employees that are obviously brighter than them. - If you are a good worker and you want to leave, you will likely be begged to stay, but if you have made up your mind to really leave the company, please prepare for the worst.
