Pros

None! The only pro I would say is the legacy brand value.

Cons

a) Salaries, bonus and increments are low as always b) Bad engineering culture, asking you to deliver 3 month's of task in 1 week. You will be fed bare minimum information to work on, PMs are there to just chill and write hallucinated documentation using Claude. As engineer you will be asked to do research, get approvals, design implementation plan, implement, review code, do testing on your local system (M2 Air) since there is no infrastructure to test things, get the code approved and merged. You will be given 1.5 days per task. c) Townhalls are full of lies, if you raise questions they will be diverted. d) You will spend time writing slop using AI which is not battle tested. e) Recent review on glassdoor are manipulated by HR

Pros

Excellent work-life balance with a strong employee-first culture. There are continuous learning opportunities, supportive leadership, and no micromanagement. Managers are approachable, and the company genuinely cares about employee well-being while offering great benefits.

Cons

I personally haven’t experienced any major downsides so far. I’ve been with the company for almost 2 years, and my experience has been very positive overall.
