Pros

Great learning environment with experienced and knowledgeable seniors. Supportive colleagues and a positive work culture. Opportunities to work on challenging projects, collaborate with global teams, and gain exposure beyond your job scope. Performance is recognized regardless of seniority, and even junior engineers can take ownership of major initiatives. Excellent place for professional and technical growth

Cons

Work-life balance can be challenging at times. Long meetings and calls may occasionally extend beyond normal working hours, especially when collaborating with global teams. Tight project schedules and delivery deadlines can sometimes create additional pressure
