Pros

Nice work life balance Decent benefits and pay Company full of Indians so if you are an indian you won't feel like you are outside India. In fact right now people are doing lot of WFH, studying for interviews so that they can get out of ebay asap. Don't be fooled by fake reviews posted by HRs, look deeper and you will find some really insightful reviews. Unfortunately I think that's what the HRs are paid for sometimes.

Cons

Good for people who can build trendy stuff for demos just so that their managers can attract attention of others and senior execs and get promoted during the performance evaluation period. It's sad to see that managers are considered higher in ranks over software engineers so in the end even when software engineers know the right thing, they are forced to do what their managers want. Some managers even micro manage your day, like asking your status 2-3 times in a day, checking on your code commits on a daily basis, and sometimes even being rude by asking what did you do today at the end of the day. There's too much technical debt and none of the managers are interested in working towards clearing that mess, meaning it will keep getting bigger and bigger. I have also seen some managers reviewing code of the architects and giving feedback as if like peer reviews even though they are not the other person whom the architect had worked with directly at code level. Thus the process of getting the code through all the way to production takes several weeks to 2-3 months
