Good if you want: Stability for the employees who work and listen to the higher management. (knee Licking) Work environment looks very rich. Salesforce / slight system exposure

Cons

1. Work-life balance can be tough Reports of long hours and high workload Boundaries not always clear 2. Management & team dependency Experience varies heavily based on manager Some mention micromanagement and lack of support 3. Slower career growth Promotions can be delayed Not always fast-paced growth like product companies 4. Compensation is average Salary is decent but not top-tier Increments may not match the market in some roles 5. Work from office / hybrid pressure Many roles require office presence Less flexibility compared to startups. Not ideal if you want: Fast growth like product startups High salary jumps Strong design-driven culture
