Pros

Work life balance Good initial hike as well as yearly hike Hr are really helpful Policies are good Yearly activities are nice

Cons

Technology Stack is limited After level3 merger, they are doing major layoffs and will continue to do in the future on quarterly basis. The layoffs happened purely on personal level and not based on merit/performance. People who were best performers were laid off because they were just professionals and not involved with their leads/managers on personal level.

Pros

Good pay, great benefits, great people to work with, boss is great, etc.

Cons

Company is undergoing transformation, so it's a bit chaotic. Have to work with old stuff and new stuff at the same time. Hopefully that will change as we transform further.
