Pros

Amazing place to work. Easy to reach out to upper management and voice your opinions. Career switch and transitioning is quite simplified as well.

Cons

Strict Hybrid work, so if you're used to remote working, you'll have to get into a disciplined work life.

Pros

1. Work-life balance is decent: If you're invisible or obedient, you’ll get flexibility. 2. Some freedom in execution: You’ll get ownership, mostly because no one bothers to define anything clearly.

Cons

1. Toxic, manipulative leadership Management maintains a smiling facade while operating a whisper network of blame, selective feedback, and backstabbing. If you're not a bootlicker, you're a target. 2. Retaliation culture Anyone who dares raise valid criticism or even ask uncomfortable questions? Quietly sidelined. Feedback is collected selectively and twisted to paint you as the problem. 3. Zero career growth Promotions and hikes go to favourites. Performance criteria? Arbitrary and weaponized when convenient. 4. Gaslighting at scale When bad decisions blow up, you’ll be told it’s your fault. Retros are performative. The same dysfunctions resurface with new buzzwords. 5. Fake psychological safety You’ll be told it’s safe to speak up. But your words will be documented and used against you behind closed doors. It’s a setup masked as “transparency.” If you value authentic leadership, or clarity, stay far away. This place runs on fear, passive aggression, and shallow culture slogans.
