Pros

This is the best place in the industry if you want to learn new things and want to explore various areas. 1. Technical learning. 2. Co-workers and interaction with them is just awesome. 3. Pace of change is good enough to force you learn new things with the same pace. 4. Compensation is cool. 5. No politics like many other big companies.

Cons

1. Work life balance gets disturbed sometimes for some people, but that too is not as much as it is hyped on Glassdoor. Just join and see. 2. On-call: Each employee gets a turn, as per which he has to respond to any critical issue within a specific time interval. Indirectly, you have to be conscious 24X7 during this time. But its not same for all the teams and teams having very critical operations get help from their US counterpart (so you need to handle it during day only).

Pros

Good pay Clean facilities Safe environment

Cons

Even though I had a bachelor's, I was never considered for management position. Hopefully you live nearby or tolls across the bridge will kill your income.

Pros

Really smart people, a lot of opportunity for growth, always encouraged to be innovative, think big, and create something new. Competitive salary and benefits with other major tech companies. 100% self motivating work environment. No dress code and 4 legged friends are welcome.

Cons

You have to be self motivated. NO ONE will hold your hand and tell you that you're doing a great job. If you need constant affirmations from management, this company isn't for you.
