      Pros

      Great infrastructure in terms of technology. Best minds in industries. You can switch your current team anytime you want. Various verticals in which you can work.

      Cons

      On 1 hand they want to promote SDE 1 engineers who are great in each and every aspect. But on the other they hire SDE 2 who are worse than existing SDE 1. Salary disparity is very high. Many managers come from service industry and have that kind of management tendency to force employees to stay late and false promise them promotions and hike which is killing the company. Work life balance sucks. Internal politics.

      Pros

      I work with a group of smart engineers. Everyone is friendly and helpful. Even though there is heavy oncall, I learn a lot from it.

      Cons

      Random/Bad organization. I am not sure if it happens also in other big companies. There are lots of re-organizations happened in my team. I have been changed to report to 3 different managers within one year and a half. It is hard to focus on the development and to get promotion.
