Pros

Free food; smart people; overall interesting projects; flexible work hours (still long hours). The benefits and salary are very good, but comparing to how much you end up working, it's not that lucrative.

Cons
  • Managers are too busy to give feedback (only once a month).
  • They are not on the same page with the lead, and it's quite confusing what they're looking for sometimes.
  • They don't really put you in a team that matches your experience or interest.
  • You can get stuck in a team for at least a year when you start working there.
  • Extremely high workload.
