Unfair reviews

Pros

Not any extraordinary pros that I can think of. Few team mates have very good knowledge and it's great working with such people.

Cons

Unfair performance reviews, though we excel in 99 things and lack in 1, they evaluate the whole performance based on that 1. Leads have favorites and management loves to get only good feedback from engineers. Impractical project plans and worst work life balance. Still no good recognition to the engineers' efforts. Not a great package when compared to it's Bay Area contemporaries.
