Pros

Good compensation.

Nice office infrastructure.

Cons

Everything is bad here. PIP culture is everywhere. Competition is everywhere. People just pull each other down for promos. There are heavy PIPs and layoffs. Food is not free. Travel is not free. No fun activities are conducted for employees. It is a highly frugal organization with incompetent, non-technical managers. People here are depressed and demotivated. People just want to leave this company. It's very hard to survive here. There is no space or time to work on yourself or grow. There are tight deadlines. There is no time to even breathe. Amazonians have no life!
