Pros

1. If you're in a good group, there are lots of very smart people to wor with on a daily basis. 2. Some of the technology is pretty cool.

Cons

1. Your starting salary will be very, very close to your salary 10 years later, so negotiate a good salary up front. 2. Very, very little equity given out these days, and bonuses are on the scale of 0.5-1%. 3. Virtually impossible to advance to high IC roles or above senior manager level.

Pros

Very open culture. One of the most friendly managers you would ever meet. You can work on your comfort levels and timings.

Cons

Ridiculous policies . Pathetic compensations , no on sites or chances to earn any additional perks.Post 2009 , company has been continuously doing cost cutting by various means in India. This means yearly bonuses are getting vanished or becoming like "alms". Raises in salary are getting delayed every year with extremely abysmal increases.This is also reflecting in poor hires, bad product focus and quality. Also this is perhaps only one of the few companies in earth where a promotion does not guarantee a pay hike(at least immediately), that means increase in responsibility with no additional pay. A corresponding pay hike may take not a year or more to come. Managers are really good but could not do much to retain people , because systematically they have been made powerless by putting lot of "ifs and buts" in the policy. Technically you may learn a lot of skills here , but the sale-ability of 'em in the job market are very less as they are either very specific to the org or not state-of-the-art.
