Pros

Your immediate peers are smart and hard working. The problems are interesting and there is opportunity to grow in your career for junior hires.

Cons

Too many processes, politics and top down directives. The roadmap changes weekly with unrealistic deadlines for a product that requires a lot of overhead to change. The RTO mandate is being rolled out with no care or trust for employees and it is killing the culture.

Pros

Company provides good onboarding and training environments which make the new hirers easier to onboard. Team is very supportive including HR and other team department as well.

Cons

Need to be aggressive on learning the tech skills. Since the process is well organized, sometime the job can be managed without knowing details.

Thank you for the great feedback! We're glad to hear your onboarding experience has been smooth and that you feel supported by your team and cross-functional partners. We appreciate your insights on documentation and learning resources, your suggestion around leveraging LLMs is timely and aligns with the rollout of new LLM next quarter across the company to improve knowledge access and efficiency.
