Pros

* Friendly coworkers * Exposure to many different technologies (I did notice that most other reviews say the exact opposite, but as i mentioned in the headline, this really depends on the team u work for. Fortunately, my team uses more modern technologies in s/w development compared to the rest of the company.) I got to work in all the parts of the technology stack i.e the Backend , middleware and the front end, which usually doesn't happen in most s/w companies.

Cons

* most RnD teams need to work with other teams, but usually there is no proper communication between the teams. you need to constantly badger the other team to get any work done. * work can be very demanding sometimes

Pros

Great Office, Free Snacks and plenty of social events

Cons

Be prepared for a heavily politicised culture — it's pervasive and affects day-to-day working life significantly. The organisation suffers from clear in-group favouritism at the leadership level, where certain groups are visibly preferred for opportunities, recognition, and advancement. This creates an uneven playing field and quietly damages morale for those outside those circles. Leadership collaboration leaves a lot to be desired. In four years, I didn't experience a single structured team-building or bonding initiative — a telling sign of how little investment goes into people and team cohesion. Perhaps most concerning is the approach to compliance. Raising legitimate concerns or challenging existing practices is met with significant resistance from senior stakeholders, rather than genuine engagement. A culture where pushback replaces accountability is one worth approaching with caution.
