Pros

Good work-life balance. You can do your RnD as you will get lot of idle time.

Cons

no scope to learn while working. Hike/Bonus - don't expect much. Management appreciate ppl who are good in talking and not good on technical part. Lots of office politics.

Pros

- The company itself is doing well financially, allowing departments to take on bigger projects - Great work-life balance culture and unlimited PTO that actually allows for generate usage - Casual culture that encourages collaboration - Non-salary benefits are strong, with even lower-level employees benefiting from the stock purchase plan

Cons

- Despite its strong position, the company does trim headcount for the sake of efficiency - Work ethic seems complacent, but is offset by company's strong financial standing - Management can be cut-throat, but strong performers usually do well - Salaries are below market rate
