      Good for career boost, but not for long term

      Pros

      - Brand name - Learning - Food coupons - Timing flexibility - Transportation allowance - Good salary

      Cons

      - Does not consider employees as humans - They want employees to work like robots - Yearly 'Performance reviews' means firing of 1 employee from the team is compulsory - 24x7 On-call rotation means you have to work for 24 hours for 7 days during your on-call cycle day and night and it is for all technical employees be it DevOps, SDE, System Engineer, etc. I am not sure how they think that its possible for a human.

      Pros

      1. You will get to learn how to build something which would scale. 2. Some teams really encourage you to bring new and better development practices in team and act as a leader in your current role.

      Cons

      1. Be ready to spend long hours in workings, sometimes work life balance goes for a toss [ greater than 14 hours of work] 2. Sometimes deadlines are set by leadership which is not discussed with team and unrealistic hence, expect to take that challenge sometimes and stretch to as long as possible.
