Pros

Lots of talented people to work with. Lots of challenging projects. Wonderful pay and benefits; they are targeted at the 75th percentile. The company is extremely concerned about your health & safety and work-life balance. The full package here is practically unbeatable.

Cons

Most of the IT staff is in India. If you're in the US, 5:00 and 6:00 AM meetings are not unusual (but not really common). If you're in India, expect to be on calls after 7 with US staff. You may not be on the same continent with the rest of your team or your lead or your manager. It's still a consensus-based culture, and I'd like to see more managers able to make the tough decision and move forward, even if not everyone agrees. It still feels like it takes too long for anything to happen. Weekly 1-on-1s with your supervisor are not part of the culture.
