      Pros

      - There are a handful of people at the company who do genuinely care about your growth/development. - Free Udemy access - Good insurance and benefits - Pay is okay

      Cons

      Oh boy, where to start. I was hired all the way back in Jan 2022, moved all the way to Dallas for the position and did not get any work, at all. After training ended in March, every month since then has been at home, without anything to regarding employement at ALL. I had no idea who I was reporting to, I had no idea what my responsibilities were, and I was not recieving any communication from anybody. While existing and getting paid for it is pretty nice, its soul crushing to be apart of a company that genuinely has no idea you exist. I had to hound and harass management to get me on SOME sort of project, and eventually got onto a project as a developer where the same exact thing proceeded to happen. They had absolutely no idea what to do with me or remember I exist. If you can find other things to do to bide your time, maybe you'll find some enjoyment here, but this ain't it chief.

      Pros

      None, run dont even consider them

      Cons

      "India-first mentality." The company says it wants to work with people across the Americas and Europe, but many decisions still seem to follow an Indian way of operating without properly considering local labor laws, regulations, and workplace expectations. There are serious concerns about job stability. The company frequently praises itself for creating employment opportunities, but at the same time, it appears to be bringing more employees from India into U.S. roles while letting go of people from the Americas and Europe who have contributed to the company. This creates uncertainty and raises questions about the company's commitment to its existing workforce. Every meeting seems to be focused on AI : AI this, AI that, AI everywhere. Employees are constantly asked to complete AI related training and adapt to AI initiatives, while at the same time letting people go so they can afford AI. Compensation is another area that needs improvement. After my contributions and time with the company, my last salary increase was only $20, which felt extremely discouraging and showed a lack of appreciation for employees' efforts.
