Pros

Work life balance

Good pay

Collaborative Work culture

Technology driven

Use of latest and greatest technology trends

Cons
  1. For Engineering org - Subtle form of sexism - Women are hired to get the job done but no career path is provided, no promotions. For any opportunity to grow into leadership position - 99% of the time a Male is hired from outside to lead (often times less experience and not qualified)

  2. No career development opportunity

  3. Lately hiring is pretty much driven with heavy influence from referrals hence quality of hires has slided to new lows.

  4. In last 1 year, Few of Engineering executives hired don't event have experience and qualification for first line managers.

  5. No interest in employee retainment, Management don't care even if their best people leave.
