Decent pay but cheap politics and favoritism run rampant
Pros
1. It’s good for people who mainly want stability and a relatively relaxed work environment, as the work pressure is manageable if you know how to handle things smartly. 2. The salary hikes have been decent, at least in my experience over the last two years.
Cons
1. Everyone seems to be involved in workplace politics, and most of it feels unnecessary and unprofessional. 2. Most managers are non-technical; although they hold the title of Engineering Manager, they mainly act as people managers. 3. Favoritism is at its peak. Simply being good at your work may not be enough, and sometimes the people who stay in management’s good books receive promotions and hikes despite contributing very little. In such situations, you either adapt to the culture and become a pleaser or choose to leave the company.
