Pros
  • Decent starting salary (non-existent growth though)
  • Good benefits, perks (this is pre-COVID, benefits decreased after)
Cons
  • Unethical practices followed at times; -- includes false promises, misleading policies, etc.

  • Minimal compensation growth; -- your base salary after multiple years of experience would be similar to your initial salary

  • Mostly maintenance work of late; -- the codebase looks stable and not much interesting work going on at the moment

  • Near impossible to relocate to the US or any other country for that matter

  • Smart people leaving; -- previously Tower was known for employing some of the smartest people, however, there is high attrition because of the above-mentioned reasons

  • Opportunity cost since this is a service-based company and not product-based; -- can become a hindrance to move to better companies later on, partly because of the non-compete imposed
