Pros

Work-life balance is good.

Exposure to the latest technology is available, depending on the organization.

Training and certifications for employees are accessible.

In case of health issues for self or a parent, they are understanding and accommodating.

Cons

Lowest salary compared to other product companies, even with long tenure and delayed promotions. You can get pigeonholed if not continuously proactive. Sometimes, you can go many years without a raise unless promoted. I recommend not to work here for more than 3 to 5 years if not promoted. You can go unpromoted for 15 years too. Change groups or quit if there is visible exclusion, preference for others, and internal politics that cannot be proven.

Advice to Management

Please manage employee careers, as it adversely affects mental health. I had been promised a promotion for the last 3 years, and when it was going to happen.

With simple queries or AI, you can visibly detect if employees are not happy.
