Pros

Good salary. Decent work/life balance. Perks are very good.

Cons

There are not good opportunities to grab on. The management at most teams is from mediocre to poor. The engineering culture is very bad, with most things closed off and people mostly discouraged to challenge and disrupt. There is a huge disparity in bar across teams. Some teams have a good bunch of developers working for them, whereas some have very bad. Overall, the culture is so bad that even the good ones are being wasted.

There is total randomization from top to bottom across all teams. Some give easy opportunities for travel, whereas some have none at all. Do not expect that if you work hard you'll be valued here; you must know to kiss management's feet to grow here. Salary might be good and might be the only reason to stay here because otherwise, the company is not offering much to learn from, with a lack of good mid-level and senior-level engineers.

Advice: Do not join here if you want to excel as a developer. I am regretting every moment of leaving my previous company and joining here.

Advice to Management

Wake up!!
