Pros

Good application of modern technology to achieve business goals and business is willing to adapt to it. We don’t have fight to bring in a new suitable technology.

Cons

Incompetent middle management. As mentioned in another review, lots of funny drama due to petty politics within the middle management (Up to the director level). Upper management should realize not all good technical people can be good managers and ADs. I am really surprise how some arrogant people are at that level.

Pros

Strong engineering culture with exposure to large-scale financial systems, distributed architecture, and production-critical platforms. Good opportunities to learn modern cloud, performance, and reliability engineering.

Cons

Bureaucracy and internal politics can sometimes outweigh technical merit. Employees who take ownership or challenge inefficiencies may face delayed recognition, unclear growth paths, and shifting expectations, leading to frustration and disengagement over time.
