Pros
You need not adapt if you are coming from a services based background as you will be treated as an external. Some Data Engineering teams are doing good work and worth learning.
Cons
Management is not at all there when you talk about DNA department. The Directors of Data Engineering Teams, especially those who are from the SAP background or have been converted from infosys don’t know anything when asked question but will show the authority as they are the Prime Ministers. People sitting in Herzo and Amsterdam consider themselves client and you as the service provider and they don’t have a way of talking. Data Engineering Directors of few Engineering Teams like marketing team and sales team will ensure that toxicity keeps prevailing as these people are puppets to the Product Owners and speak the same language as the POs. There is no scope of growth especially for those joining gurgaon office. All you will feel is the future is dark. You would be promised 15% variable but they don’t pay it stating the org is facing losses. While they promise these when hiring new people in the same financial year. PS. Still If you are joining ensure you are not joining the Consumer and Marketing Team or the DTC Team. Other teams are still better. Directors of these two teams are puppets and know nothing and are responsible for toxicity
