Pros

Great campus, flexi time and work life balance . Good salaries and benefits if you negotiate better if you get well with top down approach and you are "yes"sir person , you will have a bright future.

Cons

Poor leadership in some functions , needless politics and administrative inefficiencies that cost millions . 360 yearly review is a joke . It is unfair if you speak up. HR is the most over rated department . Be careful with their language . Recruitment process is super slow .During first offer you have more leverage to negotiate then you realise . Avoid falling for big titles with no direct reports . They call it matrix structure which is nothing but a false pretext .
