Pros

Learn new stuff. If you go to good team and work under a good manager you are lucky.

Cons

Pass feedback to HR, they would share with management Rogues and immature managers lead large teams. No goals set, reviews are wishy washy, no official written reviews shared Manager has to like you, else you are doomed. Senior management is too busy to hear you. Didn't have any context on you or product. Associates team in Bangalore is one such team, heavy attrition with jokers as senior managers.

Pros

Truly an amazing and innovative place to work. I have had nothing short of joy working with my team and the highly scalable tools that the infrastructure provides. It can be quite the load of work at times, but you are always encouraged to automate and innovate--even when that means tearing out the old stuff you don't like. The whole world is your playground here.

Cons

Workload can be high, but it is manageable--they are very considerate about work-life balance, and offer easy VPN access when working from home is necessary.
