Pros

People working in the US team are sensible but their hands seemed to be tied when it comes to solving an issue with the Indian management. Flexible working hours -at least at the start.

Cons

Management and HR of team Indian I was in the company before there was any HR in this company, and I can tell you one thing, the company was working fine without any company politics and toxic company culture. For almost a year now, everything has changed. The company has become more toxic day by day. They claim to brag about mental health, but nothing to maintain it other than scheduling fun meetings post working hours. If you even take the history of the employees leaving this company, you'll get to know exactly how good this company is. They will rather cover the problem than solve the problem of the employee. Your superior who is meant to be a leader turns out to be your worst enemy in the office area. Taking things personally, working on egoism, and outraging employee rights are some qualities that they own. And to support and cover this behavior, there's an HR. Recruiting process is something which you can never understand in this company, to make it smoother obviously the idea was to get an HR. Did that help? I don't think so. Even after referring multiple people, they have been just kept on hold for more than months without a reply/ rejection. There's no follow-up in 3-4 months after the interview. Since the person here was someone I knew, I got to know the drill, quite sure many talents were just lost by this process that nobody knows of or maybe those talents were saved from the toxic culture. In my experience, HR India which claims to be non-partial is partial. Only if you are HR's love interest you will get the job role you are looking for. The management seems to close its eyes to this. I haven't seen one person who gets their employee rights here, even after having their HR. Also, People who are friends with HR and are in any connection otherwise with her and the HR herself can walk in anytime they want without worrying about the biometric and can easily skip the supervision of the HR ofcourse. Also, This not just targeting the Hr but the indeed true system goes on that the person tries to hide within the pleasing nature. This company or rather the people in charge are the reason why the hard-working people don't get what they deserve and eventually the company loses the gem while keeping the stones to themselves I hope this review helps this company and the people wanting to join this company get a heads up of what they're doing/joining.

Pros

Casual office environment, beer and snacks. Smart people on the technical teams. Fast friendships form, and happy hours were frequent. There used to be other perks such as golf outings, summer weekend trips & a bowling team. This is a good place for someone on a lower level team or sales looking to make quick money. No standards for raises so you can negotiate.

Cons

Leadership and management is not technology driven. Great tech remains outdated due to changing priorities, ego trips by managers, and a lack of vision by product management. Any capable managers are inevitably pushed out. Ideas for changing destructive patterns aren't respected, you'll end up in a long meeting with heads spinning and egos flying instead of having professional planning and dialog. The engineers are extremely talented and dedicated to the products, but many of the product decisions are driven by sales (or potential deals), not by the technology. If you don't drink alcohol this may be an uncomfortable place to work. There is also shocking levels of misogyny. There is no HR and no performance review process. You have to ask for reviews and potentially wait months to get your promised promotion. In the pros, I mention being able to negotiate, but usually that involves having another offer on the table. The company is eager to promote without compensation. Even if you are promoted to a mid-management position, you won't be given the autonomy or respect to make positive changes. Employees form friendships because they can all agree on what to complain about.
