Pros

Some great people who really care about the products and our customers are still around.

Cons

Everything is going to India, and even worse, current US employees are being asked to train their Indian replacements. There is a new expectation that everyone will work around the clock, weekends, holidays and during their time off. Layoffs continue to happen, hitting every US location within every department of the company. US hiring seems to have halted altogether and the remaining employees are left with huge piles of work. Pay is not comparable to other large software development organizations. There is very little communication between offices and departments, which leads to constant duplication of efforts. The company is hiring all new developers out of India because they are cheap. Just because you can get 50 people for the price of 1 in the US doesn't mean that this is the approach we should take. Quality is more important that quantity, but this company doesn't believe in that.

Pros

The interview process was smooth, well-organized, and professionally conducted. I appreciated the timely updates after each stage. Overall, it was a positive and seamless experience.

Cons

The overall timeline of the interview process was slightly extended—possibly due to delays in client confirmations or internal approvals. If feasible, streamlining this aspect could enhance the candidate experience further.

Pros

People below the senior manager level are great to work with and are dedicated to customers.

Cons

Senior managers and above are political “yes men” to the CEO who frequently screams at people publicly and on Teams meetings and makes cutting, derisive comments regarding the work people do — even those that put in many hours on the company’s behalf. He frequently complains that he is the only one who is smart enough and dedicated enough to identify and solve problems. His vision is limited to an intense engineering focus, with the answer to every challenge being to “hire more engineers.” This has begun to hold the company back and is reflected in the dropping stock price.
