Pros

1. Salary Credited on Time 2. Promotions can be faster if one lasts in the company

Cons

1. Work Culture is Toxic!!! 2. Complete Resource culture. A person is just a mere resource and can be expelled/replaced/switched/transferred at the whims of business and upper management. 3. Complete Lack of Processes: They had outlined processes long ago, but no one seems to follow them. Tasks will be assigned mostly on an adhoc basis without any proper planning. 4. Whatever business demands, Tech does without any questions. 5. Though they follow good Tech stack most codebases are nightmares as they don't have any proper architectural design and freshers write bulk of the code without much supervision. 6. Unreasonable and overambitious timelines that are missed 90% of the times. Then they expect you to deliver i.e. work on weekends/holidays/after office hours, etc. 7. Fake promises and indications all the time so one submits one's life at their whims. 8. Many(not all) seniors developers are arrogant. Verbal abuse is quite common. 9. They will drain you of all your energy, burn you out and then will replace you without a second thought. 10. There are just no ethics. Business/management leaves ethics outside the door before entering. 11. Less compensation for the amount of work they expect.

Pros

Plenty of opportunities to work on real-world machine learning problems, exposure to large-scale data, supportive colleagues, fast-paced culture that encourages growth and continuous learning.

Cons

Work-life balance can be challenging at times due to tight deadlines, rapid changes in priorities, and the need to adapt quickly in a high-pressure startup-like environment.
