Pros

Time Flexibility Good Pay Ease of moving across teams If looking to move to US, probably the best company around.

Cons

Lack of perks like other tech companies Hierarchical and Political culture. Depending on team, you may be doing mundane work specially in India. Most of your career depends on your manager. HR is non-existent in the organization. Poor culture, no bright moments, Everyday will be same throughout the year.

Pros

You will learn lot of things apart of work as well, how to get harassed by manager if u try to switch team. How to stay healthy , focused in such un-healthy and hostile environment etc.

Cons

too much politics and power in hands of manager, if your team doesn't work on something significant, this will be huge. Download blind app and see Amazon's review employee's write. its nightmare Also 0 (big 0) work life balance.
