      Pros

      Working in an organization will always have pros and cons. We have the choice to evaluate whether the pros outweigh the cons. For me, it does. The organisation is in a growth phase. There is an immense amount of change, which necessarily means a churn. New talents are required to ride the AI/GenAI wave. Transformation, continuous learning, and process improvements are required. Yes, new people have been hired from other organizations, but at the same time talent has also been promoted. This is the place to be in if you want to challenge your abilities and learn new skills

      Cons

      Some employees who lack emotional maturity and professional integrity. Maligning management and organization in public forums is not the way to redress grievances. The organization has an open-door policy and it is possible to raise concerns at any senior level, even anonymously.
