Great Technology and Work-life Balance

Engineering leader

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Work on latest technologies Positive work environment and good work-life balance Unlimited learning opportunities Good career growth at lower-mid levels Flexi work model Overall one can expect good growth till about 15 years of experience

Cons

Salaries are decent, but not top of line, not enough to hold back people Salary growth and promotions at mid to higher levels very slow Lack of focus on remote teams Company unable to stem attrition (or doesn't care) No strategy to retain employees, especially experienced people. Not proactive, not reactive. Overall company culture needs improvement (there is a mishmash of cultures of various acquired businesses, there's no uniformity across the company)

Pros

Good work - life balance.

Cons

There are significant amount of cons : Very very old technologies. Worst higher management. You just have dream about hikes and promotions. No exciting roadmap. There is such thing as transparency. Discrimination in hikes and promotions between India and usa. No appreciation when features are delivered. Overall it is management intense company and I wouldn't recommend to people between 1 to 6 years of experience and as well as freshers.
