Vantaggi
Stocks - still pretty good. General pay, especially if you're a lateral hire is well above market standards. Interview process is unique and very nice, although you will mostly get incompetent interviewers.
Svantaggi
Internal politics and way too much importance on 'image' for GTPW rankings. Work culture is atrocious to say the least. Open bias and favoritism is rampant, with zero fear of consequences - there isn't really any reverse feedback collected for managers (there is a pulse survey, but it's largely inconsequential). Work in india location is mostly pedantic and throwaway work that American teams don't want to do (the leadership there is a lot more bullish and actually fights and succeeds in getting work for the team). Here the leadership lacks any kind of spine, right down from the director. Indian middle managers here are mostly either petty, small minded or downright incompetent. Since there is a lack of good work here, managers depend on factors like diversity numbers to stay relevant - this in turn leads to alarming levels of bias and favoritism. Staff engineers are repeatedly asked not to downrate certain hires, but pick somebody else instead.
