Pros

Absolute nothing. Could have prepared for my CAT in ample free time. wasted it

Cons

I am a campus hire from a prestigious engineering college and was asked to do network testing which can be done by a 5th-grade student. Wasted my time and energy by joining here.

Pros

Good work-life balance with flexible scheduling

Cons

Over the past several years, the company has lacked a clear long-term strategy, resulting in frequent reorganizations, shifting priorities, and multiple rounds of layoffs. Decision-making often feels reactive rather than strategic, creating uncertainty and making it difficult to execute long-term plans. Internal processes can also be overly complex, slowing down work and reducing efficiency.
