Pros

Solid financial stability and structured operations. Exposure to real-world projects that help sharpen technical skills. Opportunity to work with smart and talented peers.

Cons

Lack of direction in career growth; no clear pathways for advancement. Junior engineers are not paired with senior engineers who genuinely want to mentor — mentorship often feels forced and ineffective. Company prioritizes financial performance over employee development. Limited encouragement or guidance for upcoming engineers to explore growth opportunities.
