Pros

1. You get to work with smart people. 2. You get a lot of respect from people in the industry because you work for the market leader. 3. Steep learning curve 4. Lot of small perks. You'll not notice them till you lose them :) 5. Good career opportunities. Easy to switch teams.

Cons

1. Bureaucracy. Some employees are worse than government employees in India. They take hours of breaks and you can never depend on them to get your work done. It was also one of the main reasons why I quit. 2. Middle management gives extreme timelines, like get something done by end of day, which is almost impossible. They give such extreme deadlines even if it's not an urgent issue. Employees tend to burn-out due to this. 3. Some colleagues can be very toxic. I never heard a single positive thing from them, all they care about is themselves.

Pros

Really smart people, a lot of opportunity for growth, always encouraged to be innovative, think big, and create something new. Competitive salary and benefits with other major tech companies. 100% self motivating work environment. No dress code and 4 legged friends are welcome.

Cons

You have to be self motivated. NO ONE will hold your hand and tell you that you're doing a great job. If you need constant affirmations from management, this company isn't for you.
