Pros

Gives good exposure to large scale business and operations. decent pay.

Cons

no work life balance. Working from India, one is treated like cheap labor. the quality of work and life is significantly different in Seattle and India. people expect you to work and deliver result, but nobody will talk about employee welfare or improving services and facilities. spending money on employee is against the principle of frugality, the company follows. Interacting with personnel department (for allowances, claims) is a pain. Response is very poor. thing get worse after u quit. luckily for me, i had few good friends on my team, who helped me with the stuff after i quit.

Pros

Really smart people, a lot of opportunity for growth, always encouraged to be innovative, think big, and create something new. Competitive salary and benefits with other major tech companies. 100% self motivating work environment. No dress code and 4 legged friends are welcome.

Cons

You have to be self motivated. NO ONE will hold your hand and tell you that you're doing a great job. If you need constant affirmations from management, this company isn't for you.
