Pros

Open minded people, good salary. Work life balance is good. At the end of day it depends on manager. :) Flexible working hours. Leadership team is good with clear direction in mind and how to reach there.

Cons

Management is too much self driven, and not looks the bigger picture. Too many managers and real people executing seems to be less. Less collaboration. Less empowering the employees growth, and too much self centered in many cases. Not much open to people views.
