Pros

The amenities are good. There's free health care within the premises. Food is available at subsidized rates. A lot of international exposure in terms of working with people from all over the globe.

Cons

There is little to NO work life balance. Overtime is encouraged so much that there are charts pulled every month to check on the overtime trends and it is made sure that people continue to work twice the hours they're supposed to. The direction from management is never clear. The number of Ad Hoc requests that swoop in are out of control. They have no regard for your life outside of the company. There's cost cutting every now and then. The bonuses are a joke. It is literally a nightmare of a workplace.

Pros

Strong organizational growth – The company is continuously expanding, which creates exciting opportunities for career development and new challenges. Attractive RSU compensation – With the recent significant rise in stock price, the RSU (Restricted Stock Unit) package has become a highly rewarding part of the overall compensation.

Cons

Organizational silos – Each team or department tends to operate in its own silo, which can limit cross-functional collaboration and visibility into what other groups are working on. Overly strict internal security policies – While data security is important, the current policies can be excessively restrictive, making it difficult to share documents and resources even among colleagues working toward the same goals. This can slow down productivity and hinder efficient collaboration.
