Decent company

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Work life balance is good although it depends on the project

Cons

pay is not that much, there is very high pay discrepancies at the same level for the same tech stack which is demotivating. Also, if you are promoted then the hike is nominal whereas if a person is a lateral hire then the difference is 2x
