Pros

Fast paced. Pretty challenging work. Short projects (max 2 years). Good pay.

Cons

Career advancement is next to impossible especially if you joined in the last 2-3 years. Folks who have spent 5+ years seem to have an advantage.

Senior staff engineer

Business Outlook

Pros

Relentless focus on product roadmap. Excellent execution. Startup like culture that rewards risktaking. Excellent compensation and benefits package The work culture in Engineering is more like a startup company. The Engg. team works like a well oiled machine. The company still has the agility to react quickly and launch tactical product initiatives.

Cons

Not many opportunities for career advancement. Nepotism and politics in promotions. There is a clique in management that controls all major decisions including hiring and promotions. Promotions are not given on merit but for political reasons. This has alienated several employees. There is a class of employees that is regarded as "untouchable" due to their political onnections.
