Pros

Good Benefits, compensation Paradise for 0-3 yrs ,entry level engineers Talented peers

Cons

1) Too much of redtape, process and reviews 2) They blindly mimic some of the startups and their technologies without a need and rationale. 3) Some of the orgs have numerous dependancies across various stakeholders. Makes it impossible to work from home. Hampers flexibility. 4) PR driven company. Everything goes on social media. 5) Not a technology company. Very old legacy stack 6) They have monthly reviews and 360 degree peer feedback twice a year. 7) Extreme micromanagement by non technical middle management who attract talent by their sugar coated talks. 8) Growth depends solely on your network than on technical talent. 9) Please think innumerable times if you are heading here looking for latest technologies. Its going to be a shocker. 10) Devops model of dev owning Dev + QA +Devops leaves engineers overburdened

Pros

Office Perks: Free gluten-free lunch on Wednesdays, along with free snacks and coffee.

Cons

Zero Real Training: They do not properly train you for the actual job. The training is completely rushed and horrible, leaving you highly unprepared for the actual workflows. Complete Isolation from Management: You are entirely on your own. You will almost never actually meet with your team lead or management for constructive guidance. The "Hunger Games" Culture: The entire operation is completely unorganized and highly unprofessional. You are constantly reminded that you are easily replaceable, creating a toxic, high-stress atmosphere where everyone is walking on eggshells. Absurd Case Metrics & Restricted Breaks: The job is run like a jail. They actively discourage you from taking your legally allowed breaks and expect you to process complex cases back-to-back with zero breathing room. Unethical Directives on Fraud: Shockingly, there are instances where you are actively encouraged to keep fraudulent accounts open rather than properly securing them, which goes against basic compliance integrity. Forced Scheduling & Lack of Agency Support: Management will force you into late schedules with no flexibility. The Blindside Firing: There is zero job security here. If they decide they are done with you, they will simply call your staffing agency behind your back and fire you with absolutely no explanation, leaving you completely blindsided and locked out of your systems without warning.
