Pros

Competitive compensation and benefits, Strong learning opportunities with exposure to modern technologies and Generative AI initiatives. Opportunity to work on large-scale, business-critical enterprise applications with global teams. Collaborative engineering culture with knowledgeable colleagues and strong technical talent. Historically offered excellent work-life balance and flexibility, making it a great long-term workplace. that's not the case any more

Cons

Frequent organizational changes and shifting priorities create uncertainty and reduce team stability. Excessive focus on office attendance, return-to-office policies, and in-office day compliance rather than business outcomes. Increasing emphasis on process, metrics, and governance over actual engineering delivery and customer value. Aggressive timelines and unrealistic goals often leave limited room for quality engineering and innovation. Work-life balance has declined significantly in recent years due to increasing workload and expectations.
