Pros

Good pay which meets market standards

Cons

Very bad work environment, senior team members would talk down to junior members, talk in a rude way, insult people on video calls and do not treat people with respect. Managers support this behavior. On talking on this to the manager, I was told that is the way the person talks and that I will face many such people in the future. Bad work like balance. We were forced to work on all weekends for 3 months. Interview was taken for Spring Boot, Java 8 etc since I have experience on these technologies. But the project given was on 20+ year struts framework. When asked to be put in a project based on the newer technologies that I have experience with, I was told its not possible. And when I resigned, I was told they can move me to a different team sometime in the future.

Pros

Nine years of complex engineering challenges and professional growth. Strong camaraderie with talented colleagues across various engineering teams. Opportunities to work on high-impact projects and scalable infrastructure. Gained significant experience in complex system architecture and troubleshooting.

Cons

Abrupt end to a nine-year tenure without adequate transition or transparency. Heavy reliance on an aging, legacy tech stack that hinders innovation. Contradictory AI strategy: leadership mandates aggressive adoption while refusing to fund the necessary compute and tools for teams to actually implement it. Extreme short-term focus on EPS maximization at the direct expense of long-term stability and product health.
