No skills oriented work. you will have to work only in SQL with BI developer as Analytics Engineer. Team culture is very fake, you will have multiple calls in a single day and they will expect you to complete your work as soon as possible. Very hectic processes for any small deployment. And if you did any mistake unknowingly they will crush your confidence just like that. Also appraisal is not good.
