Pros

Flexible timing Not fired (yet)

Cons

Flexible timing = no start / end time, you end up spending way more time for work beyond the standard 8 hours Mandatory office attendance four days a week Single digit salary hikes Thinkers are not welcome Target keeps moving, re-orgs happen practically every quarter. Bears go into hibernation way less often. Performing consistently worse every year, no respite in sight
