Pros

Allows work from home when needed. Scope to learn new things.

Cons

Serious problem with work life balance and natural outcome is burnt out. Management is always pushing for new deliveries. Salary is not that great. Less career growth opportunity. People working with same level for years. Not much of vacation and recently even removed option to buy vacations.

Pros

- Talented individual contributors who genuinely care about doing good work. - Occasional moments of collaboration despite the toxic environment.

Cons

- Leadership is inexperienced, reactive, and more focused on optics than outcomes. - Feedback is not welcomed unless it reinforces preexisting narratives. - Performance reviews are inconsistently delivered—if at all. - Psychological safety is nonexistent; retaliation for honesty is a real risk. - HR is ineffectual and lacks follow-through on basic requests. - Strategy shifts with the wind, creating instability and confusion across teams. - A culture of favoritism and performative inclusion rather than actual equity or support
