Pros

- The presence of dynamic, young fresh minds creates an invigorating atmosphere reminiscent of college days, fostering creativity and innovation. - Every individual carries a unique and interesting story, contributing to a diverse and vibrant workplace. - The office environment is filled with fun and positivity. - The company offers an attractive salary package, recognising the value of its employees. - The tech stack is cutting-edge, providing exciting opportunities to work with the latest technologies. - Working here provides exposure and experience that is both enriching and mind-expanding. - The organisation is committed to supporting and advocating for every individual's growth and development. - The leadership team embodies humility, moral integrity, and ethical values. - The organisation values skills and capabilities, providing opportunities for growth regardless of age or experience. - Office politics were non-existent until the acquisition, promoting a harmonious work environment. - The company culture fosters courage and self-confidence in each individual.

Cons

- The organisation's hierarchy is inconsistently followed, leading to confusion and a lack of clear structure. - The frequent use of the "enable and engage" strategy causes challenges and difficulties for those responsible for execution. - There is a lack of distinction between accountability and responsibility, putting undue burden on leaders at the execution level who must bear both roles, impacting project execution negatively. - Dealing with a predominantly freshers crowd, leaders often face challenges due to excessive attitude, lack of humbleness, and disrespect towards experienced resources. - Leaders tend to rely heavily on others' feedback to address issues, often lacking the patience or time to investigate problems at their root for better clarity. - Proper allocation of the right skills and mindset to handle complex projects is essential for success. - Freshers should avoid overconfidence and always remain open to the idea that there is much to learn. - Associate Architects must remember their role as associates and not overstep their authority, recognising that they do not own the entire organisation.
