Pros

Food and Cab is given as subsidiary.

Cons

I was a well performef till 10th September but suddenly on 10th September my manager called and said I can't stay anymore because company is not performing well and my salary is above average. I was shocked. When I came I came to know 4 member out of 7 got pink slip. The remaining 3 members are manager's close friend. So, this is a hiring and firing company. They don't care about us. If company makes profit they hire and if company not performing they simply fire. Manager and team lead put pressure to come early and sit late. They call us on Saturday. In meeting managers told us if you won't work hard I will find your replacement in market. It's an open blackmail. Very depressing work environment. They force us to address Canada team members as 'SIR' I almost got a new job in good company. Offer letter is pending. I Thanks them because they fired me. Atleast I am out of the mess now.

Pros

Great technology for the era of AI. Stock is doing well.

Cons

High performers have been laid off based on market/biz unit goals. Outsourcing/derisking is a thing lately.

Pros

Fast paced workplace. Lots of data to master SQL and data analysis

Cons

Toxic AF. Everybody seems to lower to 60% effort because the risk of getting tired is immense. If you give 100% and have to take a break and someone sees, the big boss will yell with a grumpy neurotic southern old man voice. Trust me, it is very unpleasant. If you are male, don't get hopes up for a promotion if there are any eligible girls. If it isn't done on purpose, then the general culture of cattiness and gossip will accomplish it anyway.
