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.
