Pros

Compensation is very good compared to other companies. Good benefits... Lot of chances to switch between divisions.

Cons

No work/life balance. Very long hours without any need. Lot of internal politics. Unnecessarily management takes a long time to allow engineers to switch between teams

Pros

- Trainings ( but you may not have time for them at all) - Good benefit - Job security - Good start for the fresh graduates

Cons

- No management support . You need to drive/figure out/push around solely by yourself. Management is doing nothing but taking credits. No 1on1 meeting from the direct manager for half a year. - Non-realistic deadlines - Long long hours. 60 hours per week is nothing, and you are not appreciated. You'd better working 24/7. - No life. You are supposed to be a machine, not a human being. - Does not have collaborative culture. - If your project lead is from another team, you are always the scapegoat for project being behind the schedule even if they were behind far before you joined in.
