Pros

Office location, easy commute and nice office

Cons

This company has no regard for its employees or their work-life balance. You find three kinds of managers there 1. Always smiling, listens to everything and do NOTHING 2. Nice face to face , avoid any meetings and do NOTHING 3. Avoid even eye contact and do NOTHING The culture is very toxic, engineers who have been there for a while , they are not helpful and they are v stubborn when it comes to new technologies. No flexibility in development and one group by engineers have the last say. You feel an outsider and just banging your head trying to understand 30 years olf legacy system with an absolute nonsense codebase. And on top of that, they are putting loads of new modules on that same codebase with a massive amount of techdebt which will take generations to fix The Ceo of the company is such a shallow person, he said is his all staff meeting himself that he does not trust his employees working from home and he does not like seeing kids on his employees laps during calls. He has put 5 days a week in office which is next level of insanity just because he wants to come to office everyday. He lost his respect that day in my eyes when he said that and i decided to leave such organisation where there was no regard for employees Also, they put people in engineering squads with incompetent product owners who know nothing about engineering or product and then managers do not listen to any employees concerns. I left the company in less than 6 months because it was stressful enough for me in just that short amount of time and i have made the best decision to leave that company then.
