Collaborative and inclusive team culture across departments Engineers have ownership and autonomy over their work Focus on code quality: regular reviews, testing, and documentation Solid support for professional development and learning time Clear communication between tech and product teams

Cons

Salary is lower than the rest of the industry Tech stack modernization can be slow at times due to legacy systems Not all teams follow the same development pace or architecture standards Work-life balance depends heavily on the team and project Some internal tools feel outdated and could use investment Limited flexibility in remote working compared to other tech companies

Pros

If you are looking for a good work-life balance then this is the company. Also it focuses very much on personal development, soft skills , not just on engineering skills. Also carries a feedback culture. So you can expect growth only if you are good with colleagues, good at presentations, managing work etc. It's not just dependent on your coding or engineering skills !

Cons

Low salary Also, if you are a very good engineer, but you lack in soft skills, management, leadership etc etc, then chances of growth are less.
