Pros

Perks like free lunch and free cab pickup and drop. Work life balance can be maintained. Work is decent most of the times, sometimes it's really bad.

Cons

Poor higher management both locally and globally. Work allocated can be better. Less politics in teams will be appreciated.

Pros

- Friendly working environment. - Slow-paced and relaxed. - Opportunity to work on high-impact financial software. Quite useful if you want to get into a trading firm later on.

Cons

- Limited skill growth capability (tools are severely locked down, etc) - Work life balance can be shaky sometimes since systems fail after 5pm, weekend, etc. - Documentation is terribly organized. - Not enough focus on engineering culture. Overall probably not the best place to stick around if you like exploring new skills, building from the ground up, taking ownership etc.
