Pros
  1. Stocks
  2. Some teams are working on hard, complex problems, but those would have limited openings.
Cons
  1. It's difficult to find good managers to work for, and they change teams a lot.
  2. No matter how many leaves are shown on the system, you still have to ask your manager for leaves, which is subject to tight project deadlines and their inclination to grant them.
  3. Employees are contacted to work even on sick leave.
  4. Projects are undertaken based on the promotion of a few people, regardless of their benefit to the organization.
  5. Sometimes employees have to do team planning as managers are mostly occupied in writing documents to please higher management.
  6. Outdated builder tools for most services.
Advice to Management
  1. Respect engineers' free time and don't unnecessarily overburden them with unrealistic expectations.
