Pros

Good Onboarding Process, Hr is cooperative

Cons

Minimum training. Management has no vision. Work culture is not good. You will not get work assignments according to your skill set. If your manager is happy with you then only you will get good opportunity in the ongoing project and also for good growth. Manager forcefully trying to lead the project even if you don’t have a technical project skill set. Working hours more then 12-15 hours on a daily basis with Saturday and Sunday. On a huge level pathetic politics from old employees and they will treat you as an outsider of the project.

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.
