Pros

-Do not have much pressure, people seemed idle. -The company has strong financial backing and operates in a promising market with global reach.

Cons

-Unclear hiring standards: I was terminated in my contract without violating any policy or even beginning actual work. The official reason given was “lack of ability,” despite the fact that I had clearly communicated my technical stack and limitations during the interview process. If there was a skill mismatch, it should have been identified during interviews—not after relocation and onboarding. I was not given a chance to demonstrate my capabilities or contribute meaningfully before the contract was suddenly terminated, with no prior discussion or warning. - Poor technical foundation: There was no onboarding, no documentation, and no guidance for new joiners. The tech stack is chaotic, and there is no coherent long-term plan for technical growth. The environment is not suitable for engineers who value clear structure and technical excellence. Easpecially the AI Team. -Toxic work culture: When I fell ill and took a short sick leave, my honesty was questioned and met with suspicion. There was a lack of basic respect for employee health and well-being.
