      Pros

      - Good salary - Good offices/infra - Easy to switch teams if SDE2

      Cons

      - Extremely poor Work Life Balance - You will expected to work all the time, will not mention this explicitly to you but deadlines are such that you would have to work. If there is any delay in delievery, that will be an excuse to put you in DevPlan and fire you. - No team bonding One advice, if you feel any negative review from your manager, switch team ASAP.

      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.
