Pros

The pay and the benefits.

Cons

As for cuts are made in preparation of the India Data Center that will ramp up late 2016, the workload increases and leads to burnout. A lot of middle managers are still there that do not know the business nor are they technical, but know enough to sound knowledgeable in meetings and fool senior management. They are only worried about themselves.

Pros

Strong engineering culture with exposure to large-scale financial systems, distributed architecture, and production-critical platforms. Good opportunities to learn modern cloud, performance, and reliability engineering.

Cons

Bureaucracy and internal politics can sometimes outweigh technical merit. Employees who take ownership or challenge inefficiencies may face delayed recognition, unclear growth paths, and shifting expectations, leading to frustration and disengagement over time.
