Pros

- *Used to* have some of the best talents in the world - Arbitrary work assignments leading to few lucky people getting good work regardless of experience - Best place to work for 1-2 years if you want to do MS/Phd later - Company has overall a good reputation outside - One of the best CEO's around the world

Cons

- No or very limited employee benefits and rewards - Too many project cancellations . company is on the downfall from last 3 years - Too many managers and leads than working force leading to more work per employee - Company makes sure that it wouldn't give any compensation / benefits to retain the employees - Lot of politics. Work contributions are not valued. What is more valued is how many managers and HR contacts does one have - Slipping the deadlines has become a habit for the company. Unrealistic project deadlines leading to more stress on already lean work force. - Local managers don't encourage new ideas or methodologies - Outdated and very old technology and methodology flows - Core-values are only meant to be on slides. If followed strictly, it leads to total isolation from the team

Pros

Fantastic work culture, great work life balance. People are genuinely excited about what they are working on and the projects are cutting edge. Unlimited tokens (for now at least). Flexible hybrid policy, and easy to take PTO. Leadership is very forward thinking, for a large company there's a lot of sense that employees matter. No layoffs in almost 20 years. Food is pretty good and subsidized. Great benefits, and competitive compensation especially for hardware roles.

Cons

Only minor gripes - currently no gym, and the parking is very limited at HQ. This is being addressed, but won't be completed until 2028. Company has been growing faster than the offices, so there aren't enough desks for everyone. Slightly inconvenient when you can't get a temp desk where you need, but most of the time it's no problem.
