Pros

Competitive salary and very good perks, way above market standards.

Excellent work-life balance.

Huge company with almost all the skillsets and technologies that you want to work on.

They are working hard at the top level to be competitive in the market and continuously working on some cool products based on the changing consumer market.

Cons

Management level politics, especially with Indian managers in top positions.

The positions are filled with preferential candidates even before they are open to other internal candidates or the general public for competition.

If the funds allocated to each team could be used in a better way, it would be more beneficial.

It's difficult to get to the next level, as there is a lot of politics and favoritism behind promotions. Even though the company has a good policy to support internal mobility, hiring managers know how to exploit that option. In the end, it turns out to be a tool exploited by hiring managers to get someone they like.

Advice to Management

The company has great potential to grow to the next level with all the resources, technologies, data, brand, and the market value that it currently has. However, it must find a way to reduce, if not stop, this everyday politics. Make the system more transparent to stop the monopoly of the managers who think they can do whatever they want.
