Pros

None, Think twice before joining ION

Cons

1. Zero real AI adoption—management talks big, but won’t even provide tools like GitHub Copilot and has blocked ChatGPT / Claude under “security” excuses. 2. Majority of teams are stuck maintaining legacy systems—minimal learning, near-zero growth. 3. Several Dev Technical Leads (especially from Noida/Hyderabad) are incompetent and difficult to work with. 3. Favoritism is rampant—visibility and connections matter more than actual technical skill. 4. Managers trying to save their old buddies from getting fired, making the newly joined LDPs as the scapegoat for firing. 5. Toxic work culture—long hours, weekend work, and no compensation. 6. No transparency in performance reviews. 7. Office management is the worst, budget cuts every year basically the money is reserved for next year's LDP hiring.

Pros

I get to work from home and have a grand-fathered in unlimited PTO policy. And that's about it.

Cons

RUN. This is just a horrible company to work for. Either you are living in constant fear of being fired or you are so overworked you feel like you have to work 60 hours a week just to do the bare minimum. The CEO, Andrea, is just gutting everything, doing mass layoffs over and over again. He has no clear visit for the company, goal posts keep changing, and everyone is setup to fail.
