Pros

Handsome salary, if you manage to negotiate well.

Cons

Very hostile environment with absolutely no life. You are being hired as magicians not engineers, remember that. Make sure you submit your Hogwarts Id at the time of your joining. The salary you are paid for is price being paid to take the blame for the mistakes of managers favourites. Consider this during your salary negotiation. At times you will also feel some discrimination across certain groups. Don't expect any help from an over defensive HR who will very convincingly make you feel it is your fault.

Pros

Great technology for the era of AI. Stock is doing well.

Cons

High performers have been laid off based on market/biz unit goals. Outsourcing/derisking is a thing lately.

Pros

Fast paced workplace. Lots of data to master SQL and data analysis

Cons

Toxic AF. Everybody seems to lower to 60% effort because the risk of getting tired is immense. If you give 100% and have to take a break and someone sees, the big boss will yell with a grumpy neurotic southern old man voice. Trust me, it is very unpleasant. If you are male, don't get hopes up for a promotion if there are any eligible girls. If it isn't done on purpose, then the general culture of cattiness and gossip will accomplish it anyway.
