Pros

1.Great stock performance and stability 2.Too good WLB (just work 4-5 hrs a day) if you consider it a pro

Cons

1.Pathetic work, mostly support work 2.Ancient tech stack 3.No structure and concrete team goals 4.Due to old tech and services, no one completely understands the system, so they just avoid "touching that part of code" 5. No efforts to refactor the code and services, they are ok with spending days to fix a small bug 6.HR said annual performance bonus is 20%, of which average is 15% which most people get(red flag). But after joining the candidate info shows bonus as 0-10%
