Pros

Work culture is good, flexible. Every employee is cared(+monitored) Many benefits other than salary(internet reimbursement, fitness reimbursement, health insurance)

Recently the organization introduced DevOps mechanism which killed the time management. Work life balance become a concern after this. Most of the time it is only operational work than development work.

Pros

Good work-life balance with flexible scheduling

Cons

Over the past several years, the company has lacked a clear long-term strategy, resulting in frequent reorganizations, shifting priorities, and multiple rounds of layoffs. Decision-making often feels reactive rather than strategic, creating uncertainty and making it difficult to execute long-term plans. Internal processes can also be overly complex, slowing down work and reducing efficiency.
