Pros

Big Brand, Matrix organization. Decent Pay. Less work if you are in certain teams.

Cons

Lots of Bureaucracy and slow decision making. Slow growth. Nepotism is worst than Bollywood. Grades are random, experience is not valued. People with lesser experience are given higher grades. Do not join if you are serious about technology career.

Business Outlook

Pros

Great benefits Great ideas Great team members

Cons

Leadership is toxic Not what you know but who you are willing to sleep with to move up. Lots of unwelcome and inappropriate touching. If you complain about anything you are the problem. Even when you come with a solution. They expect you to be adaptive, agile, and not opposed to change- but only the change they are proposing. No moving up without compromising your values.
