Pros

Interesting technology domain. Good opportunities for tech learning if you land in relevant project otherwise you will be working on legacy tech. Somewhat good work life balance with flexible hours, though office attendance has been done mandatory now. Used to be a good company in the past.

Cons

Appraisals are dismal - 2-3% only. No long term vision, sudden changes in the teams and roadmaps at the whims of the leadership. Inconvenient office location and mandatory work from office days. Peak office politics. Incompetent technical architects who don't do their own jobs and make others' life difficult. The company culture has become very toxic. Dictatorship like leadership from Europe is not concerned about employees well being at all.
