Pros

There was good food, cab, and bus services. It was a good brand name on the resume.

Cons

Politics, retaliation, management doesn't code, and doesn't have tech understanding. Culture is not what one expects. Limited learning and very limited exposure to modern tools and languages. No work-life balance either.

Advice to Management

Ensure zero retaliation on employees when they share a problem.
