Pros

Honestly, none. The only thing that worked fine was the interview scheduling.

Cons

1. No role clarity at all. They post senior, research-focused positions but interview you for basic coordination work. Feels like they don’t even read their own job descriptions. 2. Totally clueless panel. Interviewers were junior, unprepared, and had no idea what “strategic” even means. The conversation stayed on entry-level topics the whole time. 3. Still figuring things out in India. The company is in its early stage here and it shows, no structure, no process, and no senior oversight. 4. Talent is just a word here. Most people are from the same old company circle. It’s not about skills, it’s about who you know. Connections > Competence. 5. Big gap between image and reality. They talk big about global standards, but the execution feels like a local staffing agency trying to act corporate. 6. If you already have a good job, stay there. You’ll regret leaving for this place. It’s not worth the headache or the disappointment. 7. An overhyped company with confused leadership and fake “talent.” Nothing strategic, nothing impressive, just noise and connections. Stay away unless you enjoy frustration.

Pros

Total compensation is top of the market. Good benefits, matching 401k, free DEXA scans, nice HQ.

Cons

Chaotic management. Violatile stock price, one year you can make a lot of money with your RSUs, the next year its all worthless. Progression is hard, on paper they have a standardized rubric for leveling engineers but when it comes to calibration that's when the gaslighting and the caveat starts.
