Pros

Good quality of work Developer gets to learn from good quality code of great products Good people Complete ownership for quite some products from India

Cons

Bad Managers, lot of cost cutting going on currently as a result facilities are poor. India's Upper management treats the employees as slaves and think they are masters Very arrogant and nonsensical upper management of India Salary is not on par with the amount of work expected Too much workload. Treats employees as resource and has no good retention policy People in management frame their own rules and remember managers are all powerful and whoever licks his a** can become high performer.

Pros

Great benefits such as health care, caltrain pass, vacation time, ESPP, and so on. Big org so very slow paced if that is what you like.

Cons

No way to move up the latter. Performance reviews completely useless since any promotion is controlled by VPs and they don't look at that: They want you to be a brown-nose.

Talented Professional People. Great benefits and Timeoff.

Cons

The company has become extremely conservative with the economic downturn which means, less interesting projects, less follow through on existing projects, pull back in investments in multiple key areas.
