Pros

It's a great place to start/end your career. Very slow paced but extremely supportive environment. Free food and gym membership but not sure how long will it last. The problems are very engineering in nature.

Cons

Very slow paced and full of old dinosaurs who are far from reality. Trying hard to keep up with open source tools. Salary not very competitive compared to other tech but compensate it with perks and WLB. A lot of unnecessary business jargon to deal with. Moving up the ladder is hard and is solely based on high performance over a long period of time. It can take a lot of years to get a promotion.

There are frequent, fun company events that help build connections across teams and contribute to a genuinely friendly and collaborative culture. Overall, the organization takes a very staff-focused approach, prioritizing employee well-being and fostering an environment where people feel supported and valued.

Cons

With a globally distributed workforce, it can sometimes be challenging to coordinate schedules or connect in person with colleagues.
