Pros

Some good people can be found there, who will share the same suffering as yourself.

Cons

very hard management, in the career website they have mentioned we have flexible and hybrid working, which is totally untrue. They have mandatory 3 days in office, which are fixed days, you cannot choose the 3 days you can go and you must go 3 days, if you 2 days, management will start chasing you and keep sending warning emails repeatedly.
