Pros

The Baltimore office is very young and there is a good amount of paid time off. If you get into a good group, you will be moving to New York quickly if you are a high performer.

Cons

There is minimal career counseling from most managers and you are often just a number. You have to reach out on your own if you want to get guidance and this is sometimes hard when you are just coming out of college trying to figure out what is what.

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!
