Pros

Average market salary. Good work culture and engagement. Flexible health benefits

Cons

They recently have cancelled their wfh. While its common for many other companies they are making things very rigid. You have to be in office for 3 days even if you take a day off in a week. You can not take wfo in festival or anything. This is destroying once flexible and great work culture and people wanna move out.
