Pros
  • Decent pay (considering the fact that I am only an SDE-1).
  • Amazing workplace infrastructure (I have only worked in the Bangalore Tech Center office, but even the other ones are equally amazing).
  • Cultural events and fests throughout the year.
  • Their employee retention policy is really great. I've never heard of a layoff in my time in this company.
Cons

The work is very sluggish and sometimes downright lethargic. Things which should take an hour sometimes take a day or two. There are so many dependent teams and parties you have to work with that it exhausts you more than the actual dev work. Most such dependencies are located in the US, so you usually have to sit through the whole day expecting their reply. (Again, this is what I have experienced, but there are teams which do not have such bottlenecks).

There is politics, and a lot of it. That's all I'll say.
