Pros

Some really truly great people to work with.

Cons

Competition within the same team to handle the same piece of work has created tension. Groups operate in silos far too often and there's a ton of politics to deal with. Lack of concise direction from executive level - they preach one thing, or get on you for not having built something, then turn around and cut resources/funding for that same thing they were claiming was a priority. Be consistent.

Pros

Great product, Company have sabbaticals every 5 years. Good (not great) benefits.

Cons

Bad management. Certain groups are overworked with no work-life balance. Lot of politics and some managers can get away with a lot of bad stuff as they know how to connect to the right people.

Pros

It is a great brand name. No one is in charge, so you can set any direction you like. Well, until your legacy employees complain. Great Indian food, if you like that.

Cons

These people are out of control and uneducated They filled an entire building directly from India and they wonder wtf why are these under qualified people making decisions that 8th graders from the USA would not make. Look at customer complaints of frozen accounts inside a black hole.
