Pros

They use cutting edge technologies and promote them using Spark Labs. Multiple locations. A lot of growth going on right now

Cons

If you are new or desperate, do what I did. Get in, Get experience, Get knowledge, Get out. They don't promote from within. Instead hiring managers bring in former associates, friends and family members. This is probably why almost everyone in management up to the VP is Indian. You would think from their quarterly town halls that the company is perormaning great. My last salary increase was 3% in a market economy with an inflation rate of 9% to 11%. If I stayed I would have needed to take a second job just to survive. The max PTO for vacations and sickness is 3 weeks even if you've been there 10 years. If me or anyone in my family got sick, I had to work to make up sick time to save PTO, and then I got sick.

Pros

job security only because of government contracts, work life balance decent

Cons

- low salary, and thus high turnover rate - after covid, company lost some government contracts and they've closed several physical offices - yearly raises vary from 1-3%, and promotions rare - visa/h1b exploitation/abuse (i am a green card holder and i noticed this even) - everybody till C suite all Indian, and all are relatives/family members - management disorganized - always in lawsuits (seriously google their company and lawsuits) - old fashioned company culture push of "family" - also company has started pushing for hybrid only for select employees starting 2024, be careful
