Pros

* Great benefits - Lets you focus on your core job. * Meritocracy - Irrespective of what you may have read or heard on the web. * People around you are some of the best. * Amazing place to work. Some of the early version products are developed entirely out of IDC.

Cons

* Unlike competitors, the software development is entirely located in Hyderabad which is disappointing, if you are used to cities like Bangalore and Pune.

Pros

It's a congregation of really smart people. You get to learn a lot. You get to contribute a lot as well

Cons

There is nothing like a employee allowed to work on his/her interests. I often found myself stealing time to learn something new and found my manager thinking that I am avoiding work. It's a hard time for you trying to grow professionally. Also, there is always a clash of egos between developers and SDETs on same level. I always see myself fighting to convince that I am as technical or more technical than the developers since I keep feeling every step of the way that I am being treated as an inferior corporate citizen.
