Great at first, but they don't make it desirable long term

Pros

Good Pay and Benefits, excellent on boarding process

Cons

Terrible work / balance, major long term stability issues with jobs outsourced to other countries, incompetent or disconnected middle management. In short, the juice isn't worth the squeeze.
