Pros

- Good salary package and bonus - HR and Leadership putting a lot of effort into retaining talent - Keep your head down, don't raise your voice, you will survive with a work-life balance for 20+ year

Cons

- Really bad culture, lots of politics - Lot of meetings and no true work - Everyone is nice to your face but that is not reality. - Lack of talent. Folks are sitting for 20+ years and have no knowledge - Part of Mobility, folks get promoted without experience and talent - Due to Bureaucracy, unnecessary overhead and processes slow down everything that you want to do. - Folks cover each other to save them and frame someone whom they don't want - Abuse of agile process but showing completion of work but a lot of work not done - More Agile management leads/heads han developers who can code - Hire and Fire people every few months - Folks disappear the next day very frequently.

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 Can be a comfortable landing spot if you're able to tune out the outdated processes and legacy mindset.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.
