Pros

You can work from home sometimes. they have a gym on site. you meet a lot of people over there

Cons

too many politics, too long over times hours, seldom to have a work-life balance, you have to be lucky to belong to the right group of management to succeed. People were foreced to get low rating so that the company can kick out the person with no compensation.
