Pros

1. Hard working, great minds 2. Good products (which you will never work on in India)

Cons

1. Huge difference in pay, a new hire half experienced than you can get 2X your pay and no one cares. 2. Promotion primarily comes with being close to the management, work is secondary. 3. You can be laid-off anytime.

Pros

Amazing company, lots of events, great culture and flexibility.

Cons

They are outsourcing Client Services. An Indian company is taking over and the service quality is going very low. Many good employees ended up laid off.

Pros

culture and diversity work life balance

Cons

- Managerial politics in some teams - Budget distribution/allocations lead to zero/minimum appraisal this is also to specific team which higher management is not aware about internal politics - Manager decides your role and level you will work, irrespective of the experience and skill set. - For the same task in different projects few get hats off/appreciation/applause and some are not even recognised - No matter how much efforts you put in, everything will depend on manager and budget.
