good people who collaborate and help you grow and learn remote work flexibility,

unfortunate to have a manager who feels himself like CEO and sits in a different time zone. don’t interact until year end review comes. pay is very less, benefits are below par.

Pros

Solid benefits package, manageable workload. Can be a comfortable landing spot if you're able to tune out the outdated processes and legacy mindset.

Cons

The company undergoes frequent restructuring, and technical leadership often lacks the depth needed to guide modern engineering decisions. The culture can feel rooted in an older, more traditional mindset, and promising initiatives frequently get stuck in POC hell rather than reaching production. Career progression is also very manager-dependent; the wrong reporting relationship can significantly stall your growth. Overall technical bar is low — if you're trying to sharpen your skills, this environment may hold you back rather than push you forward.
