Pros

- You always get salary on time - Stocks are vested quarterly - Everything you work on has massive scale

Cons

- Has the worst mix of Ex-Amazon and Ex-service based company Directors and Managers, where working with the management would look like running with headless chickens. - Profits and company's growth doesn't translate to good hikes. - Annual layoffs since 2023, every team has a quota to stack employees against each other and if you're in a team where everyone is a good performer, you're in bad luck because they have 10% quota to fill and will put you opportunity rating and eventually laid off by June, even when you've performed well they'll find the stupidest reason. Fear of layoff takes a toll on your mental health. Some teams have seen their top performers or the most knowledgeable ones laid off too. - Telugu cartel is real, US Telugu managers will fast track their own people for promotion while people working hard for years will be given some stupid reason. They'll even give them high visibility products to fast track it and snatch it away from the people who deserve it. - Really long working hours with expected overlap with US timings, but they expect you in office by 10 the next day. They ask you to take a break in the afternoon before US team logs in, it doesn't work for unmarried people with no kids.

Pros

- Great individual engineers - New campus is beautiful - A lot of internal knowledge and tools - Offers Coursera courses for learning - The 10% discount card is nice

Cons

- Work-life balance is quite bad, with many teams requiring pager rotations and managers pinging after-hours - Upper management is a carousel of people putting in their two years of experience before moving to another company for a fat signing bonus - Lower management pushes you to use AI for 1/3+ of your work to suck as much "productivity" out of you as possible - There's really no Walmart culture. Over my tenure I saw upper management claim we would remember Mr Sam and never become Amazon, and ten years later we were being run by ex-Amazon VPs and directors. - Layoff waves are swift and without mercy - Shutdown many of their diversity programs and rarely put out company-wide messages with any sort of spine
