Good pay but poor work-life balance and limited growth

Pros

Good pay and basic perks. There is health insurance and an annual health benefit.

Cons

Bad work-life balance.

Very few people do actual work. The rest of the fodder just works without any scope for promotion at the L5 level.

A lot of office politics exists. The rating and review are heavily dependent on manager perception and have very little to do with colleagues or the kind of work you do. The growth factor is kind of stagnant. Don't join here as an early employee.
