Pros

Good cafeteria Good health insurance Fast growth and lots of opportunity for grunt work.

Cons

1. The Managing directors just want us to treat the engineers as a body with a brain. PhDs are hired not because they are smart, but because they can go long hours and do rote work. 2. Extremely political environment. You should shut up and follow whatever you were told to do. 3. Too many managers. If you are joining as a engineer, you will spend 80% of your waking hours and weekends doing repeatative trivial work. As managers, we are forced by our upper management to break engineers who try to innovate.
