Pros

1. There is an effort to propel the company towards the new realities of the software industry and stay relevant. 2. Humane treatment of employees.

Cons

1. Direction for the execution of next gen changes is not consistent. 2. At times, mediocrity creeps in when you fail to see the difference between substance and fluff. Hard and relevant questions to see through the fluff is the need of the hour. 3. The pay is lagging a bit behind well funded start ups. But, you won't be constantly fire fighting like in the start ups.

Pros

* I enjoyed the collaborative team culture. Everyone was supportive and willing to help each other. * The work-life balance was good, and the overall working environment was relatively low stress. * I had opportunities to work on large-scale enterprise products and collaborate with cross-functional teams.

Cons

* One area I felt could be improved was compensation growth. As my responsibilities and technical skills expanded, I was looking for opportunities that offered stronger career and compensation progression.
