Pros

Good work life balance and company takes care of you and rewards you for what you have done. Generally mangers listen to your suggestions as your peers (not as subordinates).

Cons

It is a big company and career advancement is a little difficult. A big part is of course your contribution but at some point it also depends on your manager's connections and ability to stand up for you.

Pros

Gym membership Health benefits None in my team for sure

Cons

No clear performance review structure, my manager had no clue what my previous manager decided for me..i get no advice on what to improve on! I work in an old org and wanna leave asap. It kills your brain cells just being in that environment. You have to send out long emails frequently and make a lot of noise to get promoted. The raise and bonus is a complete joke. Did I mention, absolutely boring work?

Pros

It is geek heaven. You work with people who are as passionate as yourself about software development. The benefits are top of the line. If you perform well, you are rewarded well.

Cons

The review process is draining and if your manager doesn't fight for you, you might not earn the recognition you deserve.
