Pros

very talented people and really good company culture (at least for the past 7 years)

Cons

not results driven too much, and some upper management are more focused on manage by perception which lead to lots of internal politics and toxic management. (there are good managers still out there, not to blame on everyone and I believe majority of managers are good)

Pros

* Good Pay * Free food * Free to play games

Cons

* Senior management have no people skills or management skills, they are surviving there by doing a lot of internal politics. * Promotions based on relationships, politics not merit * HR management are useless, they are just puppets of senior management. * The company doesn't follow any ethics, its all show-base. * Layoffs are abrupt, poorly communicated, and morale-destroying Before joining this company, make sure you check about their work culture with a current/former employee and then join if you still like.
