Pros

Good perks.

Nice facilities like a gym, bar, and food.

Company trips.

Smart teammates, if you're lucky.

Cons

Below average pay.

Not the right place if you're an experienced professional. You'll see nepotism everywhere. Your experience and work doesn't matter; you have to be a sycophant if you want to be a lead or get a better bonus.

Sorry if you're going to be an introvert who does good work but doesn't hang out drinking with your lead. Don't be surprised if someone junior to you and with no experience outside this company is your manager, making ridiculous decisions and earning better than you.

Of late, there are leads everywhere and more chaos.

As a developer, you'll end up spending more time on other things than actual development, often helping out the inefficient support team with trivial things.

They call themselves a tech company, but when it comes to bonuses, tech folks get crumbs.

You'll notice a lot of people stuck here because their skills are stagnant.

Transparency is the biggest propaganda that you'll see here.

HR could care more about employee welfare than events and Instagram updates.

Advice to Management

Revise the management and board.

Prepare a plan for the company. Hire competent folks from outside rather than promoting unfit people from in-house.
