Pros

Decent base salary for new joiners

Cons

Leadership tends to evaluate engineering work primarily through its short-term financial impact rather than technical quality or long-term business value. Teams focused on analytics and reporting often receive disproportionate visibility, even when their output doesn’t translate to meaningful improvements in business outcomes. Complex or foundational software engineering projects are often undervalued because there’s no structured framework to assess their contribution to long-term enterprise capabilities. As a result, technical innovation and infrastructure improvements are overlooked during performance reviews.
