Pros

Salary is ok. Technically very competitive.

Cons

Work load is high. Work conditions continually change, usually to the detriment to the employee.

Pros

Pay package is good. But its charm is reducing year by year.

Cons

No respects for managers by the senior management. No concern for work-life balance by the senior management. Senior management literally violates all management duidelines. Ego plays import role for senior management rather than Organisational goals. There is no respects for performing employees. Employees can be fired at any time without notice. Emotion is never respected. HR is very weak. Employees are treated like machines. There are a lot of politics inside the company.

Pros

- Good salary, when "golden handcuffs" (good stock-option plan) are taken into account - Looks good on a resume - If you can survive here, then you can anywhere

Cons

- Work atmosphere is un-human. People are treated as slaves. Long hours are just assumed. Taking your vacation is considered a privilege. - Bad management (they are almost exclusively former engineers) - Lots of not-nice people to deal with. Not very many people to learn from; looks like only incompetent people stayed and everyone who was any good left. (Those very few good people left, please don't feel offended when reading this.) Another group of people who stays is guys who were with the company for many years, possibly expecting severance package if they are laid off. - Poor code-base - Lack of documentation - Forget about specs, just code something - Development is done in constant fire-fighting mode and too much chaos
