Opportunity to work with some of the best programmers and world class products that is bread and butter of creative professionals. Like Flash, Photoshop Good Pay (mostly at 70-80 percentile of peers in similar domain) Flexible work hour Free Lunch ESPP, Insurance and other benefits

Cons

Farce of appraisal, feedback process, Middle management has free hand most of the time Not working on weekend can be considered factor in performance appraisal that can even result in exit. 10-15% people forced to exit after every appraisal (while people at other location get retrenched in Layoffs with good severance package)
