Pros

Decent work-life balance, as long as you finish your tasks. The cafe is decent, and free fruit is a plus. The fitness center is really good.

Cons

Highly politics driven. Performance review is not based on your performance at all. Layoffs targeted at people who didn't deserve them; instead, those who are zero asset to the company continue to thrive.

Advice to Management

Identify those who actually 'work' compared to those who freeload off others.

Performance reviews should not be made to just meet your quotas.
