Pros

* Perks, Benefits, Brand, Ambience is all good. * Good for junior employees - great place to start - but learning will be low. * Great branding/marketing team. * Good Annual event, parties etc.

Cons

* Extremely slow development environment - zero or minimal technical learning is to be expected. * Poor Work-Life Balance in Bangalore. Expect 2-3 hours meetings between 7 and 10 PM, daily. Hiring Drives every other Saturday. * People in USA are not very technical, but they are closer to customer. So they will micro-manage India team's technical views. * Political environment - almost toxic in some teams (Global Data Platform, Customer Tech, Merchant Tech, and Supply Chain). International teams are better than USCTO.
