Pros

Peanuts, comparable to any low standard company. Internet and lunch - that too require multiple levels of approval to reimburse. come on guys grow up. Nothing else, thanks to stingy leadership(non deserving) sitting in India. Stress, Headache, No respect, and list goes on. Refer Cons section for more. Never join this company, biggest mistake of my life. I am correcting soon. Team here sit on your head to give 5* review on glassdoor. That's how you see many good reviews. All these are forced reviews. Reality is exactly opposite. Many of these reviews are written by Recruitment/HR team itself.

Cons

Horrible engineering culture, Lot of politics and Favoritism They treat you like a slave who can work 24 hours, 7 days a week Incapable Managers who doesn't know anything about management. They are just puppets who have no powers, Dictatorship is followed Zero work life balance, join this company only if you can screw your personal life. No transparency Micromanagement to a level you cannot imagine. They track your lines of code, number of commits and much more. you will never see this level of micromanagement anywhere. No Respect for whatever work you do, They take your personal time for granted, Meetings are scheduled even till mid night. Bootlickers are promoted, No respect of people who actually work. They think they are doing a favor by paying you salary. Never even think of joining here, you will regret later. ESOPs value what they tell during interviews is not what it actually is. This person tell elevated value which is way more than actual value.

Free lunch, snacks and internet bill.

Will make you work like a labour. Lot of politics. For growth you just need to be in good terms with so called leaders.
