Pros

- Very less politics. - People are friendly. - Good work-life balance. - Good salary - A lot of good merchants/clients.

Cons

- Legacy codebase. Some people are trying to change things but it feels like the leadership is not focused on code quality at all. - Whenever you want to try something new, security team would intervene and you would have to justify everything you are doing. This makes it very difficult to try and learn new things. - The learning depends on the stream lead. While some stream leads are really good, some stream leads just do not focus on team's learning at all. - Everyone works on one branch, master. Need I say more!
