Pros

1. Good Pay 2. Good gym facility 3. Helpful peers 4. Learning curve during initial few months is high.

Cons

1. Work life balance 2018-2019 was extremely terrible. Unfortunately, many people did not work because they had interest/passion in the specific field they were working on, but instead work because of an atmosphere of fear created by higher management knowingly or unknowingly. 2. There were too many unnecessary meetings held. Some were related to how to improve work life balance in the company, others being on performance review. 3. Even those who did not care about OT and just wanted to work during official hours had no other option but to work extra time sometimes even during weekends. 4. Learning saturated for some people in the company. Exploring interest by switching departments is difficult.

Pros

Strong organizational growth – The company is continuously expanding, which creates exciting opportunities for career development and new challenges. Attractive RSU compensation – With the recent significant rise in stock price, the RSU (Restricted Stock Unit) package has become a highly rewarding part of the overall compensation.

Cons

Organizational silos – Each team or department tends to operate in its own silo, which can limit cross-functional collaboration and visibility into what other groups are working on. Overly strict internal security policies – While data security is important, the current policies can be excessively restrictive, making it difficult to share documents and resources even among colleagues working toward the same goals. This can slow down productivity and hinder efficient collaboration.
