Cons

With the recent management changes, the company is going massive restructuring which has led in lack of job security The company has transforming into a aggressive profit motive company (which is good but has more aggressive compared to its historical trend), due to which we can see lot aggressive cost-cutting or cost reduction. This will impact in the company's culture and work environment and have deep impact in the working nature.
