Pros

Probably: The random gifts, free meal, free cabs,

Cons

There was too much pressure, and someday, I feel like killing myself. They do not care if you live in a different location, but you have to come to the office; revoking my remote job to hybrid work is all game. This organization has lost its charm; old folks are sitting here for 20-plus years, while new ones are dying due to mental stress. They might tell you to quit

Pros

Big company, meeting different people.

Cons

Low pay, tries to give unhealthy pizza to compensate, a lot of managers doing no work, some teams with way too many people, some staff sitting in jobs for 10+ years, very political, only promoted if you are friends with the VP. Not flexible, forced days in office.
