Pros

The first and most important reason is the work culture and freedom to employees to take informed decisions.

Cons

Sometimes I feel that it becomes more important to show your work rather than actually doing it.

Business Outlook

Pros

Compensation, job stability, and benefits were very competitive. It is a good place for low and mid level professionals to gain experience. Many opportunities to work on very large scale interactive and branding projects.

Cons

Opportunities for advancement and/or training are few and far between. Politics tend to run wild, while common sense seems to sometimes be ignored.
