Pros

Good perks. Work-life balance. Decent food in the cafeteria. Product and architecture is super awesome.

Cons
  1. Salary and compensation are less compared to industry standards.

  2. There is no need to fix the problems that you face.

  3. Low employee morale; the manager divides employees and rules. There is a lot of favoritism.

  4. Too much politics; VPs fight among themselves.

  5. Too much over-pressuring from managers and super high expectations.

  6. Peers don't help much, and you will always be judged.

  7. No chance of promotion for up to three years.

Advice to Management
  1. Lack of planning and organization within teams
  2. Lack of vision across BU and teams
  3. Unclear description of roles and responsibilities
  4. Lack of documentation
  5. No onboarding process
