Poor work-life balance and a very stressful work culture

Pros

All the pros get outweighed by the amount of stress we face here.

Cons

Very poor work-life balance. A 12-hour workday is routine here and can extend to 16 hours as well. This leads to health issues, and the company has been seeing this in yearly reviews, but no action is taken.

Work on weekends as well.

No growth, as there are no levels for software engineers, like Senior or Staff, etc. You will always be a software engineer.

Leadership is not supportive. They just get work on your plate with unrealistic timelines and will grill you with follow-ups on task completion. Managers shouting at you with rude language is the norm here.
