Pros

The company is well-funded. When it's not a plague year you get a little office with a door to yourself.

Cons

N.B.: HR encourages employees to write GlassDoor reviews soon after they join, before they realize they've been trapped. Ignore the positive reviews and read the moderate-to-negative ones. In my experience: - The culture is corporate, cut-throat, and pretentious (e.g. coworkers are "colleagues") - High pressure, low pay - Lots of code (20 million+ LOC), very little documentation - High micromanagement, low autonomy - Managers will scold you for talking with your teammates about anything not related to your immediate task - Managers treat your estimates as commitments - It is improper to suggest new ideas unless you've been there several years - You'll leave with few transferrable skills because all of their tools are custom-made - Despite claims to diversity, the workforce is largely Indian
