Pros

Great Salary and Stocks Talented people to work with Frequent training and tech talks Overseas opportunities Awesome leave policy Moderate salary hike Secure job if you perform well

Cons

Need to stretch work hours to meet the deadlines Few managers are not taking care of teams, they only praise who work smart. Doesn't understand the complications involved in work. Management can ask you to do anything they want regardless of you are in support/test/development. Be ready for anything. If you don't complete it your rating will be affected. If you get the rating as "Needs improvement" or below, no WFH, inter-team change not possible unless you get VP approval which doesn't happen as the blocker would be your manager.

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.
