Pros
  • You get to work with smart people.
  • Very good compensation, especially if you stay for a few years.
Cons

APEX-driven development. Everyone is working to hit some magical numbers, and it's done by design. You are encouraged by your manager to fake it to survive.

Even if you are doing well, the culture around you makes you feel sick and stressed.

Managers encourage employees to work late hours. I'm talking 10 PM+.
