Pros

1. Plenty of employee activities, including festive carnivals, sports competitions, and diverse clubs—making it feel like a college campus. 2. Overall, the benefits package is quite good, featuring amenities such as cafeterias and various allowances. 3. The company encourages creative work and generally offers manageable stress levels. At least, this was my experience in my department, though it can depend significantly on business pressures and staffing levels. 4. Frequent internal technology-sharing sessions, offering plenty of opportunities to learn. 5. Many industry experts within the company—working with the right mentors can greatly facilitate personal and professional growth.

Cons

1. Work lacks continuity, with frequent shifts in direction and too many short-term projects, making it difficult to build lasting expertise and insights. 2. A pervasive culture of reporting and presentations—often, talking about your work is valued more highly than actually doing it; being articulate is more important than delivering tangible outcomes. 3. Technical decisions tend to prioritize trendy topics over practicality, leading to abstract concepts and ambitious yet impractical goals. 4. A lot of office politics
