Pros

Good environment for learning and working with multiple tech stacks

Cons

Bad bench policy forces employees to take leave and remain unpaid when benched. Team culture is heavily political, with clear skill gaps that are not addressed or replaced due to internal politics, alongside routine pressure to overwork. HR leadership is ineffective, poorly managed, and consistently fails to communicate policies clearly to employees. Promotions are not aligned with salary increments, which is highly concerning.
