Pros

Big company, so easy to transfer internally.

Lots of perks like a free gym, great insurance and facilities, and great parties.

Cons

WLB is team specific and what you make of it.

Engineers are not best of class.

TC is way below FAANG.

Advice to Management

Managers need to be trained and selected way more thoroughly. Managers, for the most part, lack tech skills and engage in lots and lots of politics.

Managers abuse their power and occasionally abuse employees.
