    Used to be good, but not anymore..
    The good things1. Good employee benefits. 2. Flexible working hours (depend on team).
    The challenges1. Career growth could be stagnant at some point. If you're good friends with your line managers, yes, you could be promoted without reasonable skills (office politics). 2. Inexperience line managers which really hurts employee motivation and organization. Some team need better leadership with sound technical, domain knowledge and management skills. 3. Tighten hiring process and choose the right people with reasonable skills. 4. Yearly employee assessments are very subjective. Doesn't really help the organization or, product marketing/improvements. Too bad talented people has/continues to leave the organization till this date.

    It was fun while it lasted
    The good thingsFortunately, I got to join the company at a time whereby initiative-based/exploration & use of the latest cutting edge tools were a big part of our projects so on & so forth. I got to fiddle around with Kubernetes, Terraform & some other amazing tools which could exponentially help the teams and company to achieve its goals and improvements all around.
    The challengesThe initiative/self-developmental business units of the company are currently in the midst of shutting down. I would say chances of improving your craft here are minimal or getting close to none. Otherwise, you should be expecting the average corporate shenanigans daily in & out.

    Good place to grow your career
    The good thingsSuperior trust us with out skills and provide space to grow. They are always adhere to up-to-date engineering practises, and willing to get the training we need.
    The challengesLike many big MNCs, job processes were tedious, too many ppl needs to be contacted to get something simple done, and overall decision maker are mostly not by us.

    Good self independence, but depends on your luck on being posted to
    The good thingsFreedom in regards to work done, allows for more flexible time in regards to project. If you are able to start off in a good project, good things will lead your way, if not there will be little improvement in regards to user self development.
    The challengesA lot of HR Problems and politics come into play. Empty promises come from time to time which is a big problem. If you were to be posted in a good team, there will be lots of development, but if you were unlucky, there would be not much to look for.

    Mixture of pleasant and not-so-pleasant
    The good things- Established company - Good perks and benefits
    The challenges- Delivery-based model > certain projects with tight timeline causes stress to the team - Certain project management style are more autocratic (follow with no questions asked) - Failure to properly manage work-relationship with remote businesses mostly ends up with lots of misunderstanding and misalignment of expectation.
