Good company, but middle-level management sucks
Good company, but middle-level management sucks
Stable company and less chances of getting fired once you settle in and learn the product.
Mixed technology is based on the team. But don't get exposure to the latest tech. Now in some teams, it is picking up; it will take time.
No transparency in promotions; the worst people get promoted, and good ones are working like donkeys.
Work-life balance is not as good as it used to be earlier.
Do consider salary increases for good employees, not the bootlickers.
Promote qualified people, not the bootlickers.
