Pros

I didn't find any pros here.

Cons

There is a lot of micromanagement.

You would be asked to divide a task into subtasks and back-to-back reviews would be done and you would be pointed for every hour mentioned if as per them that subtask is just gonna take half an hour.

There would be zero work-life balance at the cost of doing tedious work which has nothing new to offer you except for the bad codebase you would be fixing without taking extra hours.

Manager is gonna come up with a feedback sheet every week which is just going to state the things that you did wrong.

You won't be appreciated for any task and the manager is gonna take a lot of leaves and no one would be there to help you out in case you're stuck.

No KT and time would be given to read the codebase.

Upper management is worst.

Very low salary.

If you give any reason for the delay of the task, you won't be considered.

There is no supportive work culture.

People aren't helpful especially the managers.

Managers are the people who were the developers in the company since the start and have been promoted but mentally they don't know how to lead the team.

You'll work throughout day and night and they will say that we don't promote weekend work or late-night shifts.

Do not join if you are a woman.

Women generally don't join.

The name looks good from outside but insights are worst.

Most people have split personalities.

You won't be heard if you say that the schedule is hectic.

They will just say that this is how it is.

They will conduct the retro calls and will blame you for all the things that went wrong so basically it's only you who is at fault.
