Pros

It's famous, it's been "best employer" for 2 years now!

Cons

Lots!

  1. We only say that we have free food and all other crap. How does it help me as a person?

  2. Peers are arrogant. I have seen, like Stanford etc. are great (PS: I am from Stanford too though), but the general attitude around is like every other place is bad.

  3. The recruitment process is not good. Though I did get in due to my background, I don't think they see skillsets; they see only background.

  4. An air of arrogance.

  5. Too competitive -- good for people who have nothing better in life except work! (Yes, sort of geeks... and geeks suck, isn't it?)

Advice to Management
