Great Technology company - lousy people company
Pros: Learn cutting edge technology.  Bias for younger employees.  Decent pay and benefits.  Good to place to learn but do not get too comfortable, the 'up or out' culture continues.
Cons: Lousy treatment to people.  Constant churn.  More than one resource was fired over Skype for Business - very impersonal.  Senior Managers and Exec leadership simply do not listen - Ivory tower syndrome.  One consulting resource had to work 3 projects to just met utilization target of 40 hours/week - actual hours worked to accommodate travel between client sites > 60 hours/week.
