Pros
  1. Gets to work with business owners from IIMs.
  2. Gets to experiment with stuff as the team is in startup stage.
  3. Office location is good (WTC BLR).
Cons
  1. The lazy employees who work 3 hours a day might get promoted, and the one working hard 10-12 hours a day will not even get a chance to discuss promotion with their manager.

  2. The team culture set by the leadership has turned into a demoralizing example.

  3. 90% of the time, you'll be working on ad-hoc tasks for others, automating their stuff. These will never be recognized by your manager to support your growth.

  4. All the focus is on delivering tasks; whether the process handles corner cases, no one cares.

  5. Too much manual work, even from automation employees, like downloading a file from some portal (which cannot be automated due to authentication tokens) and running scripts daily.

  6. The team is running in survival mode.

  7. No code review.

  8. Expectation setting mismatches if you're tech-savvy, as your manager would want you to move toward operational excellence.

  9. No work-from-home policy, enforced by the manager.

  10. Higher leadership is not at all helpful in achieving your personal goals.
