Pros

- Good competent colleagues - Innovations in work is possible - Company can make good profits by segmenting the formats clearly - Good facilities within the company. Freebies are still available when the economy is what it is now

Cons

- Innovations are not leveraged by the company - Improve the processes and regain the technology DNA within the company - Managers are not competent enough to un do the process heavy life cycle and adapt a agile life cycle for products - Too many meetings for people at all levels and seems the only way to communicate across group and across layers of hierarchy is by meeting

Pros

Good work, lots of AI experiments, AI innovation, latest tech stack, Co-workers are very co-operative and helpful. Most AI tools are still unlimited.

Cons

Some teams are over-working due to smaller teams as a result of recent layoffs. Office perks (like catered food, snacks) are dwindling every quarter even though company wants every employee to be 3 days a week in office. Company wants 80 percent code to be generated by AI but no clear guideline how to achieve that.
