Developers can learn a lot under a very toxic culture
Pros
Company is very frugal so they don't use external services - Few people in the company got to build services which are interesting CS problems CEO is a great and smart man.Though tech experienced attrition. Business teams are very loyal to him.
Cons
Smaller Concerns 1. You pay for your share in the office trips. 2. Your conference tickets are not reimbursed. Though on paper, they say they do. 3. No office lunch 4. I get almost no perks. 5. No equity for software developers Bigger Concerns 1. CTO can be a tough man to work with. He shows a lot of favoritism in the company. He has no product sense and is very immature. He has a habit of belittling people. 2. In every town hall meeting, They sell people on big dreams and how the next year will be very turbulent and everybody has to work hard. A false pretense for a well-off company so they can get more productivity per person. They do not keep their money where their mouth is. No equity options for software developers or bonus. Heard few of them had a very vague bonus clause but management screwed them over during appraisals by not giving bonuses to anyone in that year.
