Best engineering team, worst work environment & management

Business Outlook

Pros

- By far the best engineering team I have ever worked with. - The product has a big international appeal to it and every engineer here solves real first world problems. - Awesome pantry, serious workspace. - Nice pay.

Cons

- Horrible HR policies, they sit close to the office door to monitor the in time and out time of the employees. No work from home culture and absolutely 0 team bonding. - No vision, there has been no new product made after its initial two products. Its just bug fixing, maintenance and features. - No ESOPS, the parameters for bonuses is not penned down unlike 20000 other things and is solely in the hand of the management. - The management nitpicks way too much, doesn't like employees walk down from the office for a smoke, shorts are not allowed. - Nothing can be pushed to production without the consent of the CEO / CTO, so technically speaking there is no ownership (unless it is about blaming if something doesn't work out)

Thanks a lot for appreciating our pantry and product. We like them too! While you were writing this, a lot was brewing at BrowserStack. 1. We were building a new world class app testing product which has been beta launched. 2. We now have a long term incentive plan (ESOP) which has been rolled out to every single employee. 3. We got together as a team to brainstorm ideas on how to make BrowserStack an even more engaging workplace. All these ideas are being acted upon as we write this. 4. While HR never used to track the in and out time, they have moved further away from the door when we rearranged the seating for all…☺. Things are changing for the better at BrowserStack.

Great technical exposure

Pros

The breadth of technical challenges you face at BrowserStack is hard to find in most of the companies, especially based out of India. Its an ideal place for a person who has interests in hacking on new problems across a wide range of technologies. At BrowserStack, your technical know-how increases tremendously as you're working on a purely technical product with a good tech team. And of course, since BrowserStack is very popular among the web development community, you have a great audience to build stuff for.

Cons

BrowserStack is part of a big community of web developers, QA engineers, automation engineers, etc. A lot can be gained by sharing the tech knowledge with the community via blog posts or open source contributions. This is currently difficult to achieve as the complete focus is on developing a cutting edge product.

Pros

Technically work is good. But quality of work has been steadily decreasing since all major problems have been solved. Will give you good environment for learning.

Cons

Work environment is really bad. Work life balance is screwed and you wont enjoy even a little there. There wont be any outside life and you will be stuck with work throughout the day.
