Pros

- Strong learning environment: Great exposure to fast-paced operations, logistics tech, and cross-functional problem-solving. - Timely salary payments & decent compensation, especially for junior to mid-level roles. - Young and energetic teams with occasional team outings and internal initiatives. - Opportunities to own responsibility early, especially in new verticals like SaaS integrations and support tools.

Cons

- Zero work-from-home flexibility, even post-COVID; strict 6-day work culture. - High workload & pressure during product pushes or campaign seasons; weekend work is common. - Engineering culture struggles with technical debt, micro-management, and Jira-focused KPIs over real outcomes. - Internal politics and blame culture in some teams lead to demotivation and burnout. - Customer complaints often escalate due to gaps in SOPs with courier partners, leading to unnecessary firefighting.
