Pros
  • Great salary
  • Flexible in-office timings
Cons
  • Managers and seniors pressurize employees to work under a lot of stress.
  • They create a toxic work environment and threaten them about a PIP.
  • Once put in a PIP, then it is a confirmed layoff.
  • The system is so broken that it delays deployments and testing.
  • It is a huge monolith and everyone is pushing code without refactoring.
  • Managers take pride when their team members work late hours.
  • People are scared to an extent, but they do not complain to HR, all because at the end of the month there is big fat money.
Advice to Management
  • Take genuine feedback of the managers from the team, else they will make the workplace like hell.
  • Take actions against the folks who do 80% of the work and hand it over to juniors to complete.
