Pros

Paternity leave 6 months Unlimited sick leaves

Cons

First higher management gives unrealistic deadlines, if there is any escalation they start abusing personally too like "FOOL",STUPID" Managers behave like Mafia, they build a circle around themsleves so that their reportees dont go to other teams NO work life balance, NO recognition, NO team culture, NO professional attitude

Pros

If you are a woman with young/ school-age children: only work here if there are no other job options for you and use it as a transition while you are looking elsewhere

Cons

work-life balance and having a family is frowned upon/ nonexistent. They will hire ypu with a 30% travel estimate in their ads and job description then give you a new job description post-hire with an expectation of 60-70% overnight travel. This is expectation can not reasonably be accomplished by women with schoolage children or younger babies..
