Pros

1. Good work life balance 2. Good exposure to latest technologies 3. Good pay package

Cons

1. No process or structure. So when you have issue with don't know whom to approach. In my view you cannot approach anyone 2. Too much political atmosphere 3. Some people are tagged great irrespective of their contribution/performance/intention. Therefore other people loose drive to work 4. To much favoritism. 5. Leadership is no trustworthy and really careless. They seem to just enjoy status and don't really care for work. 6. Leadership pretend to hear unbiassed reviews from employees. But they really track who are the critics. So if 20 % people not satisfied with something fire 50% of them so that leadership can show satisfaction % improvement next year to 90%.
