Pros

The company has respect for employees' time—meetings are well-structured, which helps keep productivity high. Salaries are fair, and the work schedule allows for a good work-life balance without unrealistic expectations. If you enjoy technical challenges, the product itself is one. I've worked along wonderful professionals in this company, always supportive and responsible.

Cons

The company lacks a proper approach to product development, focusing more on trying out baseless ideas rather than investing in the research of use cases and customer needs. Despite having a strong team and a wonderful VP of Product for a period (Susannah), they were given neither the resources nor the support to work on real customer challenges. The product is entirely tech-driven, making it difficult to create a smooth experience for business users. Developers largely dictate what gets built, limiting the amount of changes, leading to a patchwork approach rather than meaningful improvements. Cross-team collaboration, especially with Sales, is nearly impossible as requests are often ignored. The strategy in the past two quarters was overly ambitious, pushing employees to burnout—only to be followed by layoffs. If you're looking for a short-term job, this might work for you. But if you're hoping to invest in a company for the long run, this is not the place.

Pros

1. Remote 2. Offshore oppurtunity

Cons

1. Worst kind of work being EM, cross functional work is impossible to achieve as people put their ego first. 2. You can't get the work done 3. Talented and Intelligent people leave or they become scapegoats and are unfortunately fired. 4. HRs play safe just hang around with leadership and do hire and fire job, safest job in the company is the India HR department. No change from past many years. 5. CX director don't do anything themselves and put pressure on their team members, and during appraisal, does favoritism and biases.
