Pros

The people I worked with were generally friendly, and I was able to move up quickly through the company ladder.

Cons

The push from upper mgt and corporate to always keep an eye on the bottom line and not plan for unforeseen issues at store level put a huge burden on the individual associates. I tried to be a buffer between them, but it got to bad that I ended up taking time off. I'm talking about asking 2 employees to do a job that required 8 employees and asking those two to complete it in the same timeframe.

Pros

Good work life balance sometimes, Scale of Data, Challenging problems to solve in some teams

Cons

politics.. US teams generally do all the good work. Scale of the data is huge but the infrastructure is horrible. It takes ages to run simple MR jobs. Lack of good platform. No effort to retain good employees. They are interested in hiring new folks with lesser talent. There is no guarantee that you will get your variable component especially at higher levels
