Pros

Some benefits are decent, but they are not enough to offset the below-average pay.

Cons

-Poor work-life balance due to an overly strict in-office policy — management closely monitors attendance and the number of hours spent on-site -Ineffective engineering management — many leaders lack proper communication skills, technical and domain knowledge, accountability, and motivation, making them unfit for their positions
