Pros

Exposure to some of the latest trendy technologies including public cloud, tools for data analytics, etc, plus ample trainings, seminars, discussions and workshops with technology providers. This helped a lot in career advancement after GIC. Good amount of friendly, smart, and hardworking colleagues. I made some friends outside work Good benefits: snacks in office, gym, regular team building budgets Some managers are capable, visionary, and supportive. Some projects are meaningful. A lot of opportunities to learn and contribute if working in the right team for the right manager at the right time.

Cons

There were bad times and less interesting tasks with some teams too. Lack of proper technical career ladder in technology department.

Pros

Good vision, good talent (under bad management), market rate compensation

Cons

​Incompetent Leadership: Constant, chaotic reorganizations driven by new senior leads looking for short-term wins rather than sustainable engineering. ​Tone-Deaf Management: Townhalls are heavily curated to ignore genuine feedback regarding burnout and management debt. ​The "Silent Layoff" Strategy: Mass PIPs and aggressive performance grading are being used to quietly trim headcount, destroying team morale. ​Inefficient Ecosystem: Paralyzing security and risk processes block execution at every turn, while engineering teams are expected to run at 200%+ capacity. ​Inefficient HR: A heavy layer of senior HR personnel who offer zero practical guidance, zero empathy, and zero worker protection.
