Egoistic People

Pros

1. Work life balance is good.

Cons

The company is full of egoistic people in the upper management. They will stop talking to you if you are going to leave the company and some will actually start threatening you. You guys should realise that you are in an industry where employees satisfaction matter and threatening them will only fetch you bad reviews and hatred among people who leave. These guys only favour a bunch of people who they know. They will threaten you, demoralise you before you leave the company.

Dont believe the management

Pros

Good product... but far from leadership

Cons

CEO goes public saying they have enough money to run company and company believes in a no-fire policy. In internal townhall, they say give priority to family if any important matter. Company will support. And then on a Sunday, they very silently fire employees blaming on Covid. It is no surprise, they have gone silent in media after that. I have lost respect for management after this incident.

Pros

Not something I can think of. Especially if the company has moto "hire slow, fire fast" (No kidding). If you are lucky, team members will be good to work with. But in all cases your manager will suck with no or zero technical knowledge, keeping pushing for bug fixes low and quality features to win brownie points from upper management.

Cons

1. 80% of the time you will be fixing bugs. Mostly because they don't care about quality and push half baked code . 2. Annual firing during Feb to march. 2. May get 0% appraisal like many on the fresher last year. Even if the performance is good. 3. Will be working with managers who talk more but do nothing. Fake promises, no 1-1 . 4. Ready to sell souls if you want to get good feedback. They want robots not humans. Late night call till 11 PM with the US team. If you prefer WLB get ready to get fired in the next firing round which happens every year. 5. Just see the cash component as your final CTC. RSU is just fake money. The chances of going IPO is just zero. Also since I joined the price dropped from $22 to $6 dollar. Also there is no buyback option. Just be happy to see the money which might never get cashed.
