Pros

Good work-life balance, good projects (but need to carve out your way), employee-friendly policies

Cons

The indian office is sinking down in politics. That's why it is difficult to speak up for/against anyone. I would not recommend working here in the formative years/growth period. Also, recently, the leadership has been indecisive lately, doing frequent re-orgs and making sudden announcements, which makes it an unreliable and ambiguous environment to work in.
