Pros

Lots of learning material available

Cons

. Workplace culture leans heavily on internal favoritism; advancement can depend more on pleasing leadership than on technical ability. . Many long-tenured employees have outdated skills, creating resistance toward new, technically strong hires. . New talent may be viewed as a threat by existing teams, making it challenging to integrate or grow. . Not ideal for long-term career development due to internal politics and limited merit-based progression.

Pros

Shuttle service and work from home.

Cons

Lots of cons. 1. My team lead is way too bad, his attitude is very bad and keeps on mocking my knowledge. Sets unexpected deadlines and always wants everybody to be online. 2. People are not knowledgeable at all. 3. I hate how the things work here, if you are stuck anywhere the only people you can take help with is you team and that's it. Keep on struggling forever. 3. Toxic work culture and parents are not included in the insurance policy.
