Pros

Independence of technologies and reasonably good perks in travel and healthcare. Ability to work from home and 15 days of leave to start with. Mac laptops or Windows machines to work with, based on choice. Very good technologies to work with, which are top of the line. The company is basically a tech industry with a deep-rooted passion for travel. It does its best to keep its engineers happy.

Cons

Team velocity is slowed due to legacy systems and the level of hierarchy one has to work with to get things approved and in motion.

Sometimes teams are not flexible with other teams' work and will not accept changes in their projects. Things are not documented well, and new hires are not informed well to get up to speed.

A lot of work done requires getting access to obvious systems one should have access to, but it may take up to 3 to 5 days for every single thing to be approved. People are not helpful at first and resist changes to their systems.
