Pros

1. The salary is very competitive. 2. You work with IIT'ans (KGP and BHU). 3. Networking. 4. Good cafeteria. 5. You can work on few areas which you'll not get to work anywhere.

Cons

1. Politics everywhere. If somebody bad mouths about you to the CTO, you're gone. 2. Hire and Fire, with the new CTO appointed sadly this is the culture now. 3. IIT cult. You'll be praised or not fired just because you're from IIT. 4. There core products are already build. There are no new products being implemented. Limited learning. 5. Very business oriented. Business creates random products without thinking. After the product is made they realise what a blunder it is. 6. Random tech decisions. Somebody says to move to new technology, it's executed without even thinking. Afterwards nobody is familiar with that tech and the product stagnates. 7. You're expected to work for 11-12 hours. 2nd and 4th Saturday are not off. 8. T.T. table and X Box are just for the outside world. People are frowned upon if they play them.

Pros

Plenty of opportunities to work on real-world machine learning problems, exposure to large-scale data, supportive colleagues, fast-paced culture that encourages growth and continuous learning.

Cons

Work-life balance can be challenging at times due to tight deadlines, rapid changes in priorities, and the need to adapt quickly in a high-pressure startup-like environment.
