Pros

The technology and internal processes are awesome. Many smart people around. Great learning experience and many ways to communicate. Ownership of the product from requirements to deployment.

Cons

No clear career path. Lack of any recognition. Boss would not ever say anything positive. I guess those are problems of specific team.

Pros

Your contribution is recognized if you do well. Salary is handsome for a job in India. Good company for hard workers.

Cons

Aggressive workload. On call duties. The emphasis here is much more on business impact of your work than quality of work.
