Pros

Good opportunity to step into leadership because they're firing everyone

Cons

Comp scheduled for April likely isn't coming until Autumn according to people in the know and everyone will still be underpaid after that. Pitiful company.

Pros

None, Think twice before joining ION

Cons

1. Zero real AI adoption—management talks big, but won’t even provide tools like GitHub Copilot and has blocked ChatGPT / Claude under “security” excuses. 2. Majority of teams are stuck maintaining legacy systems—minimal learning, near-zero growth. 3. Several Dev Technical Leads (especially from Noida/Hyderabad) are incompetent and difficult to work with. 3. Favoritism is rampant—visibility and connections matter more than actual technical skill. 4. Managers trying to save their old buddies from getting fired, making the newly joined LDPs as the scapegoat for firing. 5. Toxic work culture—long hours, weekend work, and no compensation. 6. No transparency in performance reviews. 7. Office management is the worst, budget cuts every year basically the money is reserved for next year's LDP hiring.
