Pros: The firm encourages taking initiative to work outside of normal responsibilities.

Cons: Workload is extremely heavy. Constant deadlines to be met. It's difficult to learn new skills outside of normal activities due to the heavy workload. Career advancement is difficult and must wait years if desired.

Pros: 1. You will get to work on some of the best-in-class technologies. 2. Money if you have the right skills. 3. Work-life balance. 4. Culture among engineers is good. But unfortunately, the managers don't seem to understand what their engineers can achieve.

Cons: 1. It is a trigger-happy management, especially when throwing away valuable engineers. 2. In my experience, the head has no accountability. They promise a lot and do nothing. Some requests were pending for 1.5 years, even after promises of completion within a month's time. 3. The management retains submissive people. 4. I find senior engineers refusing actual engineering work and instead expect a couple of folks to work under their useless guidance to usurp the visibility that the low-level engineer should be getting. They are also not technically good enough to be called seniors.

Pros: A great professional development phase in my career.

Cons: Slow-moving as such a large enterprise shall be.
