Pros

Sometime you will get bravo points (which are not that much worth but its better then nothing) you can work on few GCP services. not much pros actually.

Cons

1) Work life balance is not good. (Day started from 8: 30 and ended till 7:00 with 30 mins lunch break.) 2) there are 2 stand-ups in a day to create pressure on the employees, If you say you don't have much of an update on second stand-up you will be belittled by the PO and other managers. 3) Team doesn't collaborate since all are pressured to deliver and they end up being burnt out. 4) Manager don't care that much about you. They want there promotion. 5) limited career growth. 6) They can fire you any time. (It has happened 2 times in 3 years when people are fired randomly due to business reasons) 7) The leadership doesn't have a vision for the company, They follow what is told from the USA. (Things like which Database to use and which tech stack to use all comes from the us team.) 8) Lack of knowledge across tribe, no documentation. Project Owner known nothing about the project and behaves like a manger who want to finish the project quickly. 9) They higher management puts a deadline before even consulting the development team.(They want a project to be delivered with out bug to production in 3 months after joining) 10) They want to you work extra hours and want you to come to office 3 days and if you miss a day they will threaten to fire you. etc, etc the list never ends Moral of the story don't make the mistake which I made. choose wisely.

Pros

Overtime options are great. The pay is okay, but be prepared to sacrifice your peace of mind.

Cons

It's like pulling teeth trying to get a day or just a few hours off for doctors appointments, family priorities, etc. I was penalized for missing work due to having a miscarriage and needing immediate medical attention. My supervisor took multiple unscheduled days off, even came in on a Monday and decided she wanted to take the rest of the week off... and did. you are constantly going to be micromanaged and looked at under a microscope. Equifax sacrifices quality service for fast service. there is a constant competition to close more cases per day. Good luck going to higher up with any issues, they will just tell you to hang in there things will be better soon. I experienced retaliation from multiple supervisors for reporting issues I was having with them. laying off hundreds of American employees to take business abroad for cheaper labor while grossing highest profits in company history is insane. In conclusion, this is the most toxic environment I have ever worked in, If the job market was better I would've been gone long before I hit 1 year of employment.
