Pros

As a company its great.

Cons

Was unfortunate who has a boss who micromanaged too much and doesn't agree with your decision even the problem is there. Just want everything to show that he knows everything.

Pros

People are generally friendly and good environment. Interesting, fairly diverse and international and good work life balance and pto, good benefits

Cons

Low job security and there are recent job cuts everywhere and constant restructurings affecting every department. Many contract employees and cost cuts/functions (and other signs) that show poor management and seemingly stagnant future. Not a major player so you kind of know what you're signing up for and get some work life balance but security issues make it lopsided in evaluating. Consider this more seriously and honestly would probably only advise for someone in tight circumstances or maybe at entry level needing any kind of initial exposure. Pay is below market and 401K does not immediately vest. Potentially longer hours dealing with overseas.

Pros

Technologies stack depends on team but new technologies are quite common, legacy things in process of elimination. More or less flexible schedule, modern software/computer/office. Decent salary. Whole bunch of talented people.

Cons

Processes management is worse than bad, it does not exist at all, no schedule, constant overtimes as consequence of poor planning, chaotic decisions without direction. Low working culture, no respect for private life, high pressure. No diversity, most of people are from South India, technical discussions in Tamil are regular thing despite of some team members are not Tamil speakers. Very often people are hired not for their skills but for their loyalty / private connections. Nepotism and lot of internal politics which affects performance and delivery.
