Pros

Company is awesome for work Very good stocks Culture is good

Cons

I want to highlight one point which is ruining the crow strike hiring process. There is E2E QA team in Pune where hiring for QA is solely depends on two person, one is manager and one is VV. -- VV is hiring only those who are his friends from previous company. -- If any other candidates resume got shortlisted for interview then he intentionally rejects the candidate. -- Now hiring is freezes but still his 2 friends are already shortlisted for interview when rack will open. -- No chance of hiring the candidate who is not the friend of VV.

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.
