Pros

+ can negotiate upper half of the industry average salary + depending on the team potential work from home / hybrid wfh scheme + depending on the team could have optimal work load

Cons

- some teams do not allow working from home - some teams have insane workload - some teams do not have clear project goals or work on dead-end projects - your contributions probably won't be a deciding factor for your annual bonus and raise (some factors include: is it your first year, "visibility", rolling a dice etc.)

Pros

Very good co-workers, Great technology stack. Lot of new technologies and integration with current work.

Cons

They dont even give you a MS cup. They ask you to buy it for 5$. So cheap! Management big on "Giving back", Immediate managers do not like it and are not supportive. Lay off employees twice a year to show profits. Only worried about shareholders and clients. Don't know the criteria for lay-off. So, you are always worried if it is your turn. They boast about mental health and wellness. No good, when they layoff employees like this. HR = Horrible Resources. When you are laid off, they shoo you away as if you are a fly. You feel miserable. They themselves say - "We are better than Facebook or Oracle. We dont fire you at 6 AM over email." Gosh! What a comparison!
