Pros

Not so hectic work for junior levels . Good work life balance . Training programmes are worth attending and are extensive. Technology used in the company is quite new and competitive.

Cons

Very unstable company in terms of acquisition and sell offs. In my 1.4 years i saw so many lay off and departments being closed. Package is average , but still not so bad .

Pros

Great immediate supervisor and their boss. Made top-down communications tolerable. Great co-workers and great collaboration that lifted the entire team.

Cons

(1) RIF based on tenure, not performance. HR is too powerful a department, and everyone fears it. (2) Tenure made you lazy, killed creativity, initiative, and promoted a "yes" culture. (3) During COVID layoffs, CEO pay went from $3.7 million to $15.x million, while employees endured 25% furloughs for 3 months, and management 10% reduction in pay for 6 months - explain how that is reasonable. (4) CEO declared DEI as the way forward for career mobility, and a lot of young, promising talent walked out the door, including DEI-qualified minorities. (5) I was one of those minorities.
