Pros

Flexibility at work is a major factor here Freehand to perform job is a good thing work culture is a good factor

Cons

Salary hikes are always a constraint. sr. leadership roles are never given to someone who wants to grow internally. People with very less experience get hired at a senior role and high package

Pros

Work from home flexibility at any time Depending on the team, some colleagues may be supportive

Cons

A huge challenge in this workplace is the overall management style in this department. Leadership tends to provide limited guidance, support, and training, which makes it difficult for employees to grow or feel set up for success. The environment can feel discouraging at times, especially when feedback is delivered in ways that come across as unconstructive or overly critical. Workplace stress is also a recurring issue. Rather than creating stability, the way stress is handled at the management level of this department often amplifies tension across the team. Leadership often appears to struggle with managing stress effectively... This results in a noticeable difference in morale depending on how leadership engages on a day-to-day basis. When management is not present, the team collaborates more openly, and the atmosphere becomes significantly more positive. Many employees report feeling overwhelmed or burned out, which points to a broader cultural concern.
