Pros

It is a very open minded place to work. The company offer different kinds of benefits so people can focus on their jobs. I personally enjoy my work there since the team offers different opportunities.

Cons

The company is very large, and projects you work on may not the one you like. However, this is not the issue of the company. The company still offer mentorships and kinds of opportunities. People just need to find out proactively.
