Pros

Family like bond and they treat you and train you like their own

Cons

Too many old employees on their senior posts, seems like they are gonna retire from here and don't want anyone else to grow here due to which they are taking unethical steps to fire junior employees.

Pros

Pay is good, but in a way they are making you obsolete in the market.

Cons

Too much AI hype, most of the engineers who work on certain project does not really have that big of a business impact. And there are non tech managers who come from process mindset and will make you process driven rather than tech driven,
