Pros

As the title says work-life balance was pretty good, company culture is geared towards employee welfare, flexibility to work on some open source technologies based on the team, compensation is not bad but not over the top.Not too strict about scrum or processes so more time to spend on development.

Cons

Promotions are random and no clear path with few levels to grow. Old timers in the company coasting for too long with some recent attrition but definitely needs more new and young talent to join. Work can get easy going and not so motivating after a while. Low morale on turning over the company to appeal to MZ generation of users.

Pros

Good work, lots of AI experiments, AI innovation, latest tech stack, Co-workers are very co-operative and helpful. Most AI tools are still unlimited.

Cons

Some teams are over-working due to smaller teams as a result of recent layoffs. Office perks (like catered food, snacks) are dwindling every quarter even though company wants every employee to be 3 days a week in office. Company wants 80 percent code to be generated by AI but no clear guideline how to achieve that.
