Pros

1. Very less work 2. Good place to relax when you feel you have worked more 3. Exposure to Large Scale Telecom software systems 4. Trying to work in Agile way 5. Yearly one office Sponsored Outing 6. Parties / Dinners for every release 7. Decent Pay 8. Exposure to Open source technologies

Cons

1. Poor Roadmap, you are hired for one technology you end up working in other technology. 2. You tend to forget the technical stuff that you already know, unless you are motivated enough to do some learning on your own. 3. No travel opportunities 4. Typical Politics in Play in the Mid Management Level 5. Abuse of Agile, Mid management over fits waterfall in to agile 6. Lethargic Recruiting Strategy, Many people do not have work in the areas of their specialization. 7. Spikes of work at times of Releases and Middle Management expects you to work over late nights and Weekends to finish it

Pros

The company culture is great. Super flexible, remote work culture and tons of different areas or career paths to pivot into. International company with offices in 180 different countries. Loads of diversity.

Cons

Many teams can be international, so timezones will conflict a lot and make it much harder to work with people who are overseas as they are logging off as you are getting on. This also causes communication issues as sometimes there can be language barriers.
