Pros

- Good Managers (If you are lucky) - Latest tools and technologies - Subsidised Transport - Annual Hike and Bonus - Less Politics on low levels

Cons

The saying "Employees leave their manager but not the organisation" is not applicable here. I was in Seagate for my manager and left for HR policies and company culture. It's not an employee centric organisation, below are few points to support the statement. In future, it will have hard time to attract good talents. - No work from home kit provided during COVID - Hesitation to send laptop during COVID if it gets faulty - Sick Leave: Need to attach medical certificate even for a single day of leave (Never seen this in any organisation) - Causal Leave: This can not fall in between public holiday and annual leave. (Seriously! This is the trust?) - Sudden increase of notice period to 90 days for existing employees without any acknowledgement. - Less pay more work - Slow and cheap laptop/hardware where other product companies give choice - Not enough awards and recognition to keep employees motivated - Status call on late evenings

Pros

Great technology for the era of AI. Stock is doing well.

Cons

High performers have been laid off based on market/biz unit goals. Outsourcing/derisking is a thing lately.

Pros

Fast paced workplace. Lots of data to master SQL and data analysis

Cons

Toxic AF. Everybody seems to lower to 60% effort because the risk of getting tired is immense. If you give 100% and have to take a break and someone sees, the big boss will yell with a grumpy neurotic southern old man voice. Trust me, it is very unpleasant. If you are male, don't get hopes up for a promotion if there are any eligible girls. If it isn't done on purpose, then the general culture of cattiness and gossip will accomplish it anyway.
