Pros

* Good tech to work on.

Cons

* No work life balance. No appreciation of hard work. * Company is going through tough time as it can be seen on the leadership faces. * People in some teams gets promotion every year. * Leadership promotes people who are just active on slack and braggs about every small thing he/she does - even if that's part of their routine job responsibility. * Recently forced RTO policy on employees - same company who used to first do a survey and decide the policy which is best for the people. The whole policy is random, lacks any research and leaves a bad impression on leadership. * In some teams, senior leadership literally threatened people to obey RTO. * Company has cut down drastically on various employee benefits it used to give. * Culture has taken a down turn. Micromanagement can be seen everywhere. * They brag about "remember the human" value. But in reality its a joke. * They will ask for anonymous feedback just for namesake. Do more research and then only join.

Pros

It’s a paycheck. Good brand recognition.

Cons

Terrible culture. People fail to plan, then expect everybody else to scramble and spend their nights and weekends reacting to demands within ridiculous timelines. Nothing that you’re doing is so important that it’s worth constantly burning everyone out.
