Pros

Very collaborative environment. The teams are excellent at coming together and doing whatever it takes to get the job done

Cons

Poor work-life balance. Leadership appears unaware of—or indifferent to—rapidly growing workloads. After-hours work has become the norm for some employees0, making it difficult to disconnect and maintain a healthy personal life. Leadership needs to better align project demands with realistic staff capacity.

Rude and aggressive leaders , not helpful at all... Recent last few years they hired leaders who lack leadership qualities, people who work with toxicity and ego, non appreciative of team's efforts and are always disrespectful HR function is of no use in this company Promotion and grwoth is driven by personal bias vs Merit
