Pros
Opportunity to interact with very talented and smart people such as ivy league graduates A job if you need to live in the bay area and have no other options Good cafeteria with diverse cuisines offered
Cons
Big company politics and policies without the security and stability of one - reorgs happen every 6 months and you may need a new role every so often just to hold on to your job Executive incentive structure encourages exploitation of the rank and file employees - the company artificially keeps attrition rates low by hiring individuals on visas that restrict their mobility to change employers Not your typical American company - this is a sweatshop that discourages ideas and innovation Not a trusting work environment - very unforgiving and harsh to newcomers if they fail to adjust quickly Constantly hiring - because they constantly fire employees who for no fault of their own are unhappy. Likes to save on severance costs by artificially creating reasons to fire employees. Management is a firm believer in getting "fresh new blood" all the time to do their bidding. What is worse is all the employees working in the firm are blinded and believe the management's opinion without questions. No one has the guts to be a whistle-blower. And if someone does - they get thrown out for asking too many questions. To survive in this company - blindly follow orders and do everything to please your bosses. Company has been firing employees for meeting it's growth targets - the company is growing phenomenally but because the investors demand even more, the management has accepted the recourse of reducing operating costs.
