Pros

Good work culture. Good people and nice policies.

Cons

It takes long time to establish yourself. i.e. to get promotions or decent ratings. they look for consistency and that means you got to be in the company for atleast 3, 4 years before you would get a good rating and thereby good increment and promotions.

Pros

- stable job/income - decent benefits - lots of different products to work on within the company if you want to try something else (although the choices are limited outside the HQ) - work with smart people (mostly) - get to learn a lot about building scalable products - company and staff contributes positively to the society (volunteer work, donations, etc.)

Cons

- not fast enough. lots of processes just to change something - politics in some teams - performance review system not always fair and transparent - too many layers of middle management (makes it hard to make decisions and sign off) - missing energy and passion. too many people who have been there forever just for the paycheck but provide minimal value
