Not a good place to work

Pros

Able to learn more and less night call.

Cons

No work life balance and the culture over there was selfie. Everyone only care for their own growth without thinking about others. Always find fault in each other.

Pros

The company committed to the highest standards of research, development, talent nurturing and ethics. Operating in a global scale is a unique experience, if you are in the global role. Interesting place right now as digital transformation is going on and the whole industry is changing by it. You can be proud on the CEO and the company's mission and the way it is achieving it.

Cons

Everything important gets political. It is natural in such a complex environment, but you have to learn how to live in this environment. It usually takes couple of years and it implies you fall down couple of times. Count on long terms only. There is a huge drive for change, but you're riding on a dinosaur.

Pros

Excellent team and well bonded with no office politics forged by hard times made mostly by bad managing skills of the leaders

Cons

The leaders are weak, selfish and irresponsible. Good at shifting blames and finding scapegoats so that they can protect their pay. Quick to claim credits but nowhere to be found when there are issues. Instead of searching for the right root causes of failure, they often take the easy way by blaming other departments.
