Pros

Looks like a good mark on CV.

Cons

The management loves to sweat over the small stuff. If you love to be micromanage and constantly worrying about whether you should have a full stop or a comma, this is the right company for you. Pathetic old school mindset trying to stay relevant. A lot of time spending reviewing PowerPoint decks because you can not present without 3 levels of “leaders” scrutinising. If you work in IT, don’t bother joining since it’s a dead end.

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.
