Pros

Free food and gym. Flexibility in working hours.

Cons

Hikes are pretty low, and you get promotions if you are able enough to showcase your work. Late night US calls can affect your work life balance

Pros

->Really chill workplace ->Target has adopted usage of open source Tech, which might be helpful post leaving company ->Workload per sprint is at comfortable levels, which leaves plenty of time for GRE/CAT/TOEFL/SOP preparation for higher studies -> Public git repos, all tech being worked on has public documentation, so if you're interested, there are plenty of sources of information -> Lead engineers and other senior level people are very approachable even for the smallest of doubts/questions -> Perfect place if you are a fresher looking to do masters in a year or so and also looking for some cash for next to no workload -> Work-life balance is amazing. -> Amount of work undertaken is upto self, but other engineers are happy to pile their work on you if you do not know how to engage in office politics.

Cons

-> Raise is independent of work put in, rather it depends on the amount of noise/fuss made over work done -> Promotions are dependent on how loudly one laughs at the director's jokes, not at all on technical proficiency -> Most directors are clueless about what the teams that they are responsible for have done in the past quarter. -> Target India is a haven for old engineers, who specialize in legacy tech, and refuse to learn new tech, hence growth for a fresher is extremely limited. -> Target India is also a haven for ex-service company employees who look to exploit the company and who manage to not get fired by deflecting focus/blame on others. -> Target India is not a place to be if you are looking to work in the same company and grow at a reasonable pace. Most freshers leave in 1-2 years(masters).
