Pros

Snacks, good time off, no fixed ill days, good training program, no formals wear required like some other companies,inception of new technology.

Cons

bad management, dont even give you your own cubicle, overhyped company which tries to be glamourous on the outside, but void inside, old software, over worked people, low wage hikes, hostile to immigrants, biased performance reviews, over all a closed system where people either cover their a$$ or bully people around to get ahead. Some teams are innovative, however most are doing what they were for a long long time...overall unreasonable people...

Pros

Great Office, Free Snacks and plenty of social events

Cons

Be prepared for a heavily politicised culture — it's pervasive and affects day-to-day working life significantly. The organisation suffers from clear in-group favouritism at the leadership level, where certain groups are visibly preferred for opportunities, recognition, and advancement. This creates an uneven playing field and quietly damages morale for those outside those circles. Leadership collaboration leaves a lot to be desired. In four years, I didn't experience a single structured team-building or bonding initiative — a telling sign of how little investment goes into people and team cohesion. Perhaps most concerning is the approach to compliance. Raising legitimate concerns or challenging existing practices is met with significant resistance from senior stakeholders, rather than genuine engagement. A culture where pushback replaces accountability is one worth approaching with caution.
