Pros

The onboarding process was smooth and well organized, which made it easy to settle into the role. The team was very welcoming, friendly and supportive, helping me feel comfortable from the beginning. The work environment is collaborative, and team members are always willing to help. Communication across the team has also been clear and effective.

Cons

One area that could be further enhanced is providing a bit more clarity around priority tasks and key expectations in the early stages, which may help new joiners focus their efforts more effectively. Additionally, becoming familiar with various systems and tools takes some time, so any additional guidance in the beginning could make this transition even smoother.

Pros

Strong exposure to modern technology like AI, automation, DevOps, and CI/CD tooling. Supportive engineering culture, good learning opportunities for early-career developers, and the stability of a well-established global company.

Cons

Processes can move slowly due to the size of the organization, and career growth or salary progression can feel gradual. More structured mentorship would help junior engineers ramp up faster.
