Pros

Good colleagues and team. Good learning opportunity as a stepping stone

Cons

- Company CEO removed hybrid work suddenly, not even allowing 1 day WFH. Ignoring employee well-being and inclusion. - says that company still offer great flexibility for those who can WFH. But if the company policy is 100% onsite, will mgrs even allow WFH? A big NO. - company future way of work is hotdesking but requires 100% onsite? How is this possible? Clearly, ignornant about where everyone’s gonna sit. Throwing everyone to fight and scramble for a seat. How is this a good company culture and conducive environment? - Higher management not listening to the voices on ground. Having hybrid work is the greatest flexibility applied can provide. - politics between cross functional team. - management always going back on their words and directives (eg. implementing WFH hybrid but decided to take back, stating project deadline but decided to expedite for sooner closure)

Pros

Strong place to start your career. If you do the Fusion Program you will learn a lot. Good training and benefits. Amazing Employee Stock Purchase Plan. Coworkers are smart and grounded people.

Cons

Stingy with salary, raises, and promotions. The engineer roles are broken up into Jr and Senior so the title progression goes Engineer I, I Sr, II, II Sr, etc which slows career progression and pay. Only the CA office gets extra pay due to the expense of living there, even if the MA office is expensive.
