Pros
  • Provides creative freedom and autonomy to be as ambitious as you want to be, which could result in faster growth.
  • Supportive environment with some of the most skilled and talented people who help each other grow.
  • One of the best places which truly adopts AI to enable high productivity, and you have access to OpenAI premium tools and code assistants like Copilot.
  • You get to control your own career and where you want to drive it.
Cons
  • It is very difficult to get promoted past a senior role.
  • Promotion cycles are fixed and occur once a year. It feels that the system benefits those who get a counteroffer as compared to those who work hard to earn it.
Advice to Management

There is a severe trust deficit after the embarrassingly ridiculous handling of layoffs, silent layoffs, and a big divide after an absurd disinformation campaign against CBA.

It almost feels that many of the steps are taken to make people leave of their own accord and to reduce headcount. However, it is resulting in the loss of some very talented people as well, which is hard to replace.
