Pros

I truly believe BrowserStack is an outstanding workplace that cultivates a strong sense of ownership and inspires innovative thinking. The products are remarkable, making each day exciting and engaging. Since joining, I've gained invaluable knowledge and continue to learn every day. The environment here strongly supports both personal and professional growth, and the emphasis on complete ownership of my deliverables instills a deep sense of accountability and pride in my work.

Cons

For now I feel optimistic about my future here.

Pros

- Work and learn with bright minds in tech industry(although this was better until 2020 - now poor quality engg). - You get complex and challenging work, expedites your learning curve. - Remote-first and remote benefits, good comp for most positions. - Fast paced work env with wide variety of platform and exposure. - Other perks: Insurance, Laptop, ESOP, etc.

Cons

- Poor or non-existent work life balance. CEO himself called out in townhall that this place is not for you if you want WLB. This is a problem since managers have started taking advantage of leadership's stand on WLB and asking resources to work on weekends to finish projects to meet deadlines. - Poor planning of projects in speedboats. Leadership and managers takes on a lot of work in commitments with poor estimates and wants 3 - 4 month worth of work to be delivered within a month. - Poor career guideline and EMs do not provide constructive feedback leading to poor rating and poor hike. - Non-inclusive culture. Being remote-first it's a strange reason that USA percy team was let go because of timezone differences with Indian counterparts. - Poor planning on onsite cadence: can book only for 4 nights 5 days - expecting folks to fly from a different city to land on Monday and check in on Tuesday? How can someone stay for 4 nights in a weekday? Trying to save 1 to 2 days' expense? Expecting employees to shell out of their pockets to stay by themselves for business work? No explanation on leadership part on this. - Slow laptop: IT just does not want to address this problem. The laptop freezes even when browsing sites. What exactly is it running in the background for tracking? - Bad hires: from L1 to leadership there are a few folks who just does not want to learn. I understand that they might not be good with tech stuff, but not willing to put efforts in learning just blows my mind. Although, this is limited to a few and not everyone.
