Pros

free food; smart people; overall interesting projects; flexible work hours (still long hours) The benefits and salary is very good but comparing to how much you end up working is not that lucrative;

Cons

- Managers are too busy to give feedback (only once a month). They are not on the same page with the lead and it's quite confusing what they're looking for sometimes. - They don't really put you in a team that matches your experience/interest. You can get stuck in a team for at least a year when you start working there - Extremely high workload
