Business Outlook

Pros

Good pay, good perks. Great products, great knowledge gain, good people, good mentors.

Cons

Less transparency with management visions. No goals clearly defined. So you need to be up on your toes all the time. If you are someone who would need someone to remind you about your daily duties, then don't join this company.
