Pros

I got an amazing hike with great stay at hotel as I moved from different city. Work life balance is great.

Cons

Less work. At times no work at all. Lots of politics and no work fuels that politics ! Some folks are here for long and won't share information which is essential to a new joinee & really pathetic means to make sure you leave quick ! Bad work environment !! HR is worst. NO salary discussion occurred and I was simply given the offer letter. Onboarding was delayed multiple times.
