Good pay, bad work-life balance
Software Development Engineer (SDE) -1 • Current Employee
Hyderābād, Telangana, India
March 29, 2025
Pros: Good compensation as per industry standards.
Cons: 1. Lot of toxic teams with a high focus on deliverables and no regard for personal time and employee's health (not worth the pay).
2. After a certain time, you will be stuck using similar tools to solve that particular business problem, as they have a predefined scale which requires a certain suite of tools. Once you learn all of it, growth is limited in that team.
3. Always go for a team which generates revenue, or else you'll be stuck in a team that is struggling to get sponsored and justify its size to leadership. This means they only care about things moving fast to prod and not about team bonding, employee mental health care, or the learnings of the org.
