Pros

Good compensation and medical insurance. Hikes are good.

Cons

1.) Job Security. Layoffs are now every month, here and there we hear that x people have been fired. Performance is not only the criteria, upper management is not having clarity. If a ZINC is opened in your name even if you have not caused that issue, you are done finished, pack your bags. 2.) Extreme Work Pressure: Always need to over-perform and still your job security is not guaranteed. Extreme tight deadlines and unrealistic sprint pressures. 3.) Micro management is on peak, well this also depends on who your manager is. 4.) Professionalism is going down, managers don't listen to your problems, they become the problem.

Pros

The pay and ESOP is good

Cons

Toxic management structure. Unnecessary archaic practices. Employee feedback is not at all considered by the upper management. If you get a bad manager, there is nothing more you can do.
