Pros

Lucrative package and good pay.

Cons

There’s absolutely no clarity on where the company is heading. Leadership doesn't seem to have a roadmap or any clear next steps, and honestly, it feels like complete chaos most of the time. The management style here goes beyond micromanagement — it's more like nano-management. Every tiny detail of what employees are doing is tracked. There have even been cases where leadership commented on how much time someone spent sitting at their desk when in the office. The work culture follows a typical hire-and-fire model. The first 2–3 months might seem smooth, but after that, the real issues start showing up. You're expected to be a "rockstar" and somehow fix all the years of legacy issues almost overnight, which is completely unrealistic. For the first time in my career, I saw leadership that didn’t have any clear idea about what to do next — and yet somehow expected employees to figure everything out on their own without any direction. Also worth mentioning: in just a few months, 3–4 teams have been shut down and many people have been laid off. So job security is a big concern.
