Pros

Competitive salary Remote work B2B highly available SaaS company (so bar for quality of work is low)

Cons

SInce Rajiv CTO leadership, company has major shifts in way working, took first line managers, so managers don’t have enough time to work on all reports, and reports has to prepare their own documents to provide for appraisal and promotions, themselves. Highly competitive culture, have to play the game to gain good score in all irrational metrics and also, Competition within team is now implicit due to new review policies. They have been consistently increasing load on engineering and while reducing head count, and using resources from reduction to form new internal teams to do new work. My team’s head count was reduced from 25 to 7 during my time, and work load had doubled.
