Pros

First time in my career I find such a company without any pros. An old timer is ruining this company. These guys do not have basic etiquette. Join this company if you have no self-respect and can shift-delete your past knowledge and achievements.

Cons
  1. Lot of politics.

  2. Your hike is not aligned to the hard/smart work you do. You should be in the good book of so-called VPs/Directors to get a good hike, irrespective of your performance.

  3. Openly, you will be threatened not to screw your manager's rating.

  4. Aged old technology. (Still, this company runs on server-side UI, so-called AWL, and single-threaded ORM EO.) Nowhere will you find these technologies being used. They never get changed either, as long as these old-timers are here. They have been working on these for more than a decade, and all talented new joiners struggle, while old-timers remain relevant.

  5. Old-timers don't have basic etiquette. They are not hesitant to pass dirty personal comments on others.

  6. The code review process sucks. It is another tool for old-timers to torture and show their relevance.

  7. Service-based mentality. Even though the company has work from home and no fixed work times, if you exercise your rights, you will be in a bad book.

  8. To remain in your boss's good book, you should hang around people of his choice, visit the temple, shouldn't smoke and drink, and don't talk much to female colleagues.

  9. Everyone in the company knows what is wrong with old-timers, but no action can be taken. They just become stronger every day. No hope at all.

  10. Cons are endless, and I'm stopping here. The more I think, the more it makes me sad and depressed.
