Pros

Pay is decent.

Perks at work are great. The SF office is even better.

It's good to find jobs in the internal portal as well.

Almost the culture is as good as big product-based companies.

Cons

You have to be careful during the restructuring. Without computer network knowledge, it is very difficult to survive. Politics in the higher management is not visible. Hikes are not that great. Negotiate a good salary when joining. Hikes won't be that great later.

Advice to Management

Middle managers are not good enough to advise or mentor.
