      Pros

      All the pros get overweighed by the amount of stress we face here

      Cons

      Very Poor work life balance. 12hrs working day is a routine here and can go to 16hrs as well. It leads to health issues and company has been seeing this in yearly reviews as well but no action is taken. Work on weekends as well No growth as there are no levels for Software engineers like Senior or Staff etc. You will always be software engineer. Leadership is not supportive, They just get work on your plate with unrealistic timelines and would grill you with followups on task completion. Managers shouting at you with rude language is a norm here

      Pros

      Nothing about this company is worth noting.

      Cons

      One of the worst companies I have worked at. Management and leadership are disorganized and unsupportive. Employees get treated like dogs and are talked down to. No work life balance because everything is an escalation or because some “head” requested something. For a company so well regarded, they sure know to how be cheap and take away benefits. Parental leave is basically a slap you in the face. Comp is high but expect to have that dangled in your face or else you get let go. On site lunch and breakfast is nice but how much can you sugar coat the terrible work conditions with little snacks? Everything is such a mess. I’ve been here for almost 7 months and have not met a single person that enjoys their job. DO NOT JOIN ZOOM!
