Pros

Opportunities for rotation. Colleagues are competent and friendly. Definitely a less cut throat environment. Compensation and benefits are not the best in the market but still keeping above average. Openness to try new things though buy in for subsequent implementation is not easy.

Cons

Growing from a small company to the current strength of over a thousand people, process planning may have been neglected. This resulted in processes not being well defined or formalised and you will need to spend a lot of time to talk to people in order to understand what is going on. More technology is not equivalent to more efficiency. There is need to have that one person to review the company IT system architecture holistically rather than allowing everybody to decide what they want and later let them drown themselves trying to integrate and reconcile data between systems. OneGIC needs to apply to its system architect too. Too much resources wasted on inefficient systems which is unhealthy for the company in the long run both in terms of company's financial and employees moral.

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.
