Pros

It is an emerging industry, and they found a way to keep afloat after the pandemic. They keep getting positive attention from investors.

Cons

Unfortunately, even before the pandemic, keeping the investors happy is what drives the company and that means you will be in a company that is investor centric, not employee centric. This can create a toxic environment for some. In particular because, at least in the USA, many managers are not trained to be managers, they just moved up thanks to friendships from previous workplaces. If your job becomes too expensive here, then it will be sent to India, which makes job security not realistic in any way. They have a very old view of employees being little more than replaceable line workers. As long as the company is well financially, all is well - regardless of how toxic the place may be. As for diversity, the place is full of micro aggression towards some employees and they are not aware of it, in part, because they don't care to know. However notice how the top leaders of the company has been male-dominated for years, not unlike most other tech companies stuck in their old ways.

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.
