Pros

*good place to learn about the eCommerce business as well as Technical know how in Java/J2EE technologies. * good benefits package * mobile teams are set for defining future

Cons

Highly political environment. to succeed, it is more like who you know than what you did. The Testing Org needs a major overhaul - Resources are never allocated on time for critical projects (there is never enough budget mysteriously, as the Org keeps getting Top-Heavy!), stressing the entire team! This is not the place for top talent! Too much stress - avg QA/QE Tester works late nights and weekends to make up for bad decisions made in the mgmt chain, making it hard to recommend this company to top talent. Promotions to deserving employees are delayed, resulting in avoidable attrition.

Work life balance is compromised. Management has a cutthroat performance review policy. Initial learning curve is high. Not sure if it stack here would help further career.
