Pros

Excellent work life balance, nice and collaborative colleagues, manager deeply cares for their employees. betting big on future

Cons

Growing pains:-Core teams frequently blocking other teams' dev progress ( due to capacity issues); Product portfolio suffers from a lack of unified vision and clear pre-decided goals for upgrading customers. Multiple products seemingly addressing similar client needs will confuse customers and internal teams.

Pros

Pay and benefits were pretty good. Only reason I stayed.

Cons

Chaotic leadership. People are constantly busy doing things that don't matter as there is no clear understanding of what the strategy is or what success looks like.
