Pros

Very nice peers. Great teams but management is poor.

Cons

H1B visa holders are treated like slaves. No respect to the roles and employees. Positions are opened up impulsively. Recruitment is a mess. It doesn’t matter what the panel’s recommendation is. Power rules. People are demoted or promoted over night and this happens literally every month. Decisions and directions change every day. People are moved to different projects every day. This shows lack of thought process in the management or always, impulsive decisions are made by the management. Process changes are never sent over email. Later Leads are blamed making them scapegoats.

Pros

I work with diverse and supportive people. Teams and leaders demonstrate the will to respond to worker needs with kindness and respect. On the operational level, teams are highly flexible and adapt quickly to changes when provided proper support. Work-life balance is high priority for the people I interact with.

Cons

The company has difficulty holding on to talent in tech fields since a good chunk of the focus has to be allocated to art/design and production instead. CEOs come and go every few years, leading to instability. For some teams, the process remains overly complex and inefficient because of misalignments between leadership/engineering and ops team users. No formal humanist policy around AI & robotics yet.
