Pros

company name on paper is good

Cons

Worst experience, especially in a legal contract team, with no career growth and working with so old technologies and work methods. You can call employees over here as Modern day slaves. When you join they will treat you like family but once you put down the paper they will behave like aliens. In the name of work, they only give standard work. Also, The manager believes in a divide-and-rule policy. Playing politics with employees in the name of team building activity. The best part is he thinks that he is paying the employee's salary from his pocket. In his free time, he opens his numerology class and suggests people and management employees change their names and surname. Judging people based on their sunshine. If the team member puts down paper then he asks other employees not to talk with that person. Even the HR team supports such kind of behavior.

Pros

whelp, their hiring. So if you're looking for an entry level position, they've got them open

Cons

Where do I start? If your goal is to make a tangible impact, change things for the better, or grow a modern career, look elsewhere. Stifling Red Tape: The company is drowning in administrative bloat and ancient, worn-out processes. It is nearly impossible to implement meaningful improvements because every minor change is strangled by bureaucracy. The organization simply lacks the capability to scale effectively. (They still haven't fully implemented Bussman, who they acquired more than a decade ago) Short-Sighted Leadership: Upper management is entirely hyper-focused on hitting short-term quarterly metrics at all costs, completely sacrificing long-term strategy and sustainable operational health. Subpar Compensation & Benefits: The base salary is hardly competitive with the current market. The benefits package is remarkably weak—health insurance options are disappointing, and you start with a meager two weeks of vacation. Zero Performance Incentive: There is no financial upside for regular engineers. Bonus potential is completely locked away until you reach a "manager of managers" level, leaving the actual individual contributors with no skin in the game. If you are a paper-pusher who thrives in a rigid, stagnant environment, you will love it here. If you want to build the future, go somewhere else.
