      Cons

      Flexible time schedule means, 'hey you can work anytime' to some people Almost complete incompetence in middle management Middle management works 35 hours a week tops Horrible, constantly changing review system

      Pros

      lots of resources to advance both in technology and personality development , not necessarily these will translate to career growth.

      Cons

      Bad performance management system, too many people getting hired which translates to best performers shown average with less challenging conditions. Lesser and lesser opportunities day by day and bad scheduling and management from your leads.
