Pros

Nothing I can think of

Cons

Too many to mention Due to the insane level of debt the company is in, over the last 6 months they have engaged in wholesale, brutal redundancies, which they keep as secret as possible. In fact, there's a big question mark over the legality of the way they have gone about them. There are now actually clients using systems that have nobody left with any knowledge about them. If a problem arises, there's nothing that can be done. There are several that have a skeleton staff of completely demoralised, stressed and overworked developers who actively hate the place, and clients are slowly getting wind of the situation and jumping to other products/companies I have no idea how people can give this absolute disaster of a company 5 star reviews....!

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.
