Pros

If you want to learn how to grind, this is the best place. If you want to experience one of the worst cultures that exists in software development industry, this is the best place. Either it will toughen you up, or leave you scarred for life. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, as they say.

Cons

Management that treats you like a 24x7 operating robot. Nothing happens on time. Due to high turnover, getting something as simple as a firewall request processed is a nightmare. Management listens to all your problems, but that's all. They only listen... Teams, and tech leads that try to dump everything on good performers and take credit later. A great deal of ball passing, football must be these guys' national sport. After all the meetings for the day are done, there is barely enough time to do any work. There's a meeting for everything. Daily stand ups, that span for hours, with no favourable outcomes. Daily updates with managers, weekly updates with managers, there's plenty. Did I say meetings...? Working long hours, weekends, holidays, these are expected and mandatory. Work-life balance, never heard of it. No direction, or a plan for the future. Well, maybe there is, but they are never communicated down the line. Even if they do, they never come into fruition. Salary is subpar. No inflation based adjustments. Good luck surviving on 2021's salary ranges.

At times, workload distribution and resource allocation can be challenging, particularly during peak operational periods. Additionally, certain processes could benefit from further standardization and optimization to improve overall efficiency and workflow consistency.
