Pros

- Great benefits and stock options - mostly talented engineers to work with - a good name in CV

Cons

- a very messy process each team is its own island (depends on the org). - with the new MAI every thing now should be about AI even if it doesn't need to - every manager applies the performance review by their own understanding no alignment on how performance should be meausered

Pros

Great company with great people. Free azure credits, free access to copilot, and much more to learn.

Cons

India is always required to be puppet to US. Without USA alignment, india team cannot do anything. US folks control 90% decision making, they can block your pull request they can give negative feedback, which eventually help to retain talents. Overtime is a common practice, weekend workers are appreciated. Even with these cons if you can live with, company is really great, they do care, they support, lot of learnings available, ofcours top talents to work with.
