Pros

Great products, good autonomy in coding and working for the greater good. Work life balance and working from home option is a good productivity and creativity booster.

Cons

India site upper mgmt seems to be in an ivory tower. Motivation and leadership skills are absent. When the going gets tough the leadership goes silent !! All hands are sheer waste of time. Losing it sheen day by day. 2019 has been really bad with most hiring happening at fresh grad levels only leading to work overload on the seniors. Career growth is a thing of the past. Need to pull up socks or perish by losing great talent to competition
