Pros

Good culture, respect, food and gyms

Cons

Very low pay, people compromise in terms of low pay thinking of job security however the layoff is significant. Initial salary might be good in case of job switch but they will not increment easily. Your salary will stagnant even after promotion. Very low innovative, got advise to integrate Microsoft product instead of open source which was way better and faster. The whole software ecosystem is very slow.
