Pros

Competitive Pay Good RSUs Fully Remote work Engineering team is very good. Amazing collaboration and wants to do the right things. Successful product

Cons

- Micro management at people manager level at product team level (Its my way or the High way) - Throws lot of jargons around - Trust, empowerment etc, but wants to control the ICs by micro management - Lack of innovation on Product team - Product team leadership - talks to only their peers and their reportees. Very Hierarchical. - Layoffs are being disguised as firings (of people with no history of poor performance). Its planned well in advance with lot of documentation to establish that you have poor judgement and lack skill.

Pros

Remote work culture Is excellent, innovative tech, company's growth and opportunities to protect clients. Felt fortunate to have worked for this organization that has a strong growth tragectoruy and protects clients.

Cons

Manager/Director level: Poor communication from team manager/director, with little to no direction and the lack of team morale. Team members were on their own after training and most meetings could've been an email. The presence of the director was the equivalent of a virtual bulletin board. No ownership was taken from management to lead or guide the team and no sense of loyalty exists between management and team members. Good talent was squandered due to complacency and lack of direction. Company: Con for the company is the unfortunate lay offs that happened after leaving the company. It's a shame they laid off veterans from my former team. The writing on the wall was apparent, from outsourced new hires to the non-competitive compensation for newer hires. The company went from a fun and competitive start up to a disconnected company trying to emulate tech industry trends and "balances the budget" AKA lay offs, to look good to share holders. For a company that nets huge profits year after year, layoffs shouldn't be part of the reality.
