Pros

Free coffee and tea. Clean working environment with lots of office supplies. Director of software development (Catherine S.) was fantastic and really held the department together. Most development managers were also great, however this groups days are numbered.

Cons

Aggressively moving all development to India where the CEO's family grew up. Having to work with in-sourced India workers is near impossible because of the language and culture barrier. If you are not a native born Indian you will have difficulty from day one since their version of english is not the same as ours. In some cases learning Hindi would make work a little easier. Once most management converted to native born Indians I found myself discriminated against and minimized.

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.
