Pros

> None, once you join you can leave your work life balance behind. > most of the glassdoor reviews are manufactured using new employess > situation is so bad, that a good percentage of employees who have been with company through thick and thin are also leaving.

Cons

> two years ago management was good. My experience with managers was that they wanted you to grow and were open to suggestions. They used to usually resolve conflicts in a logical discussion. > However, blessed by 'bitscaling' the quality of EMs is just "sad". They just say yes to top management and push pressure at bottom. > Some of them are full of ego of the things they built in the past, which were good but dont scale in today's world. They will drop very good ideas using pitiful excuses just to prove their crap. It is pointless, forget EM, they are not even qualified to be TLs (atleast the ones I have worked with). > No matter what the team, OKRs are always decided by 1-2 people in the team, who have done zero research on how things can be solved in a better and a substainable way. > Even after becoming 100 million+ company, there is a stupid rule, no matter how heavy it is, just 1 person will manage the main operations, day and night.

Pros

None that I can think of. Maybe a couple decent/sticky products

Cons

Onboarding is 99% product and training reps to be Sales Engineers. Almost not focus on sales strategy. US sales team is treated like temp sub-contractors. No senior leadership or true support for US team. No sense of direction. Horrible communication. Everything that helps make a sales org go is run out of India. A customer could be begging to buy software and it can takes to get them a quote.
