Pros

Benefits, compensation are great. Co-workers I appreciate; cooperation and collaboration across teams works well. Management is hands-off unless there is a need; expect us to behave professionally - ask for help if we need it; seek it out on our own, be resourceful. I like that. Leadership is top-notch, in the executive team. I very much appreciate Li Bu Tan, our CEO, and his vision and leadership towards execution and setting and achieving realistic goals.

Cons

Hmm, not sure about cons. Sometime a project gets in a crunch and needs extra time; but I do my best and get the job done. Many jobs have this at time. Management is understanding of work/life balance, so there is not pressure to overwork.
