Pros

Good company benefits and amazing work culture

Cons

Unknown and Old Tech stack it’s nice to understand the internals and how they have built an OOPS like framework from C but after a while it becomes stale.

Pros

Great colleagues and supportive peers across functions. Exposure to challenging projects and opportunities to grow. Flexible work options help balance personal and professional life.

Cons

Work experience depends heavily on your direct manager. Too many layers of middle management slow down decision-making. Excessive meetings, including unnecessary pre-review meetings before the actual meeting. Processes can feel bureaucratic, reducing agility and innovation. Communication between levels is not always effective.
