Pros

+ Flexi work arrangement, WFH on Fridays + RSU + Plenty of really great people to work with

Cons

- Company as a whole keeps changing direction, resulting in projects getting delayed / poorly executed. - Finger-pointing is rampant when there's delay to the project schedules. - Program managers are aplenty. Some speak so loud as if there's arguments daily on the floow. - People managers hired to take on technical role. Some can be clueless in the technical aspect.

Pros

No Pros taking money from employees in the name of Agreement. That money they have not given to me also. But taken from me. It's a shame act by product company.

Cons

There are many I can't list everything. Constant fear of layoffs in every 3 months. After earning call 100% layoff. Manager harrassment. Micro Management and Dirty Politics by senior authorities.
