Pros

- Learn a lot - Decent salary

Cons

- Too much of politics (US guys do only that) - Terrible Work life balance - Folks who got Exceeds ratings and strong contribution ratings also got Zero stocks, and less than inflation hike (<9%) - No concept of Performance bonus - No clear direction for management and you keep working all through. Its like throwing 100 stones and hoping 1 hits, and by doing so, you are screwed - Salary structure is organized in a such a way that you will be thrown out in 2 years, if they don't like you.

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.
