Pros

Pros doesn’t matter if you dont provide job security and peace of mind to your employees

Cons

Frequent layoffs, you will always be worried about your job here, every few months they do layoffs. Lot of micro management, even they will track your commits, PR reviews, line of code done, they are tracking efforts based on quantity not quality, even after so many micromanagement, they are frequently doing the layoffs, very unstable environment, I wont recommend anyone to join this company.

Pros

The company is huge with lot of sub divisions because they acquire all the time. Latest tech and skills

Cons

Since I was part of the Acquired company, they kept the salary very low and I tried to remind them about my position and compensation a few times that give me what my position deserves , I was laid off in 2 days despite of great performance. Lay off happened as part of quarterly but in heart I knew I was not going to be a part of that if I did not ask for raise. not treated well at all. My position was remote.
