Pros

* Good Pay * Free food * Free to play games

Cons

* Senior management have no people skills or management skills, they are surviving there by doing a lot of internal politics. * Promotions based on relationships, politics not merit * HR management are useless, they are just puppets of senior management. * The company doesn't follow any ethics, its all show-base. * Layoffs are abrupt, poorly communicated, and morale-destroying Before joining this company, make sure you check about their work culture with a current/former employee and then join if you still like.
