Pros

Great work life balance because nobody works and everyone tries to get away with it just by boot licking

Cons

Career suicide, don’t waste your time here just for the money. Go somewhere else if you want to really become a good developer.

Pros

Good work, lots of AI experiments, AI innovation, latest tech stack, Co-workers are very co-operative and helpful. Most AI tools are still unlimited.

Cons

Some teams are over-working due to smaller teams as a result of recent layoffs. Office perks (like catered food, snacks) are dwindling every quarter even though company wants every employee to be 3 days a week in office. Company wants 80 percent code to be generated by AI but no clear guideline how to achieve that.
