Pros

Company has a good trajectory, growing in revenue and size - can’t think of a better company to switch to in PK Work from home Unlimited free snacks if you visit the office Feels meaningful to contribute to the application Generous with holidays - if a national holiday is on a weekend, they compensate it on either Friday or Monday Motive allows for independence and lets you work at your terms: only need ensure work is done, no micromanagement Work-life balance is great! The WFH helps a lot

Cons

Fewer add-on benefits (benefits outside of salary) - No annual bonuses - No annual tours - No special events like a concert, eid event, basant event, mango day etc - No random gifts on local special days like eid or year end (you don’t even get a bag from the company until you have spent a year) Compensation is in PKR (tax deductions are HUGE) Pls give better equipment, the wireless “noise cancellation” headphones suck Team and colleagues feel distant (even the local PK / Lahore employees) due to the lack of more opportunities to interact with colleagues

Pros

Strong people and culture. Genuinely good colleagues, a collaborative environment, and a place where talented people want to do good work. After many years here, the quality of the people is the thing I'd point to first. Real mission and real product. The work matters — building technology that has a tangible safety impact in the physical world. That gives the work a sense of purpose that's hard to find elsewhere.

Cons

Leadership and organizational clarity could be stronger. As the company has grown, clearer direction, more consistent decision-making, and steadier organizational structure would help people do their best work. Uncertainty. Periods of structural and strategic change can create a sense of instability that's tiring over time, even for people who are otherwise very committed to the company.
