      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Excellent work life balance, nice and collaborative colleagues, manager deeply cares for their employees. betting big on future

      Cons

      Growing pains:-Core teams frequently blocking other teams' dev progress ( due to capacity issues); Product portfolio suffers from a lack of unified vision and clear pre-decided goals for upgrading customers. Multiple products seemingly addressing similar client needs will confuse customers and internal teams.

      Pros

      I had to write a sweet love story based on the Wild West in the 1880s about a cowboy and a girl. They reminisced by writing letters until they had the chance to see each other and towards the end, they got married. I loved writing the story

      Cons

      My boss didn't like the results I gave him, and he fired me on the spot. I only lasted 1 month there
