Pros

Good benefits, auto approved leaves, big name on CV

Cons

The top keeps marketing good culture, however they never really care abt ppl’s workload, they only think abt how to further squeeze staff. Very poor work and life balance. Mgt always says they r open to comments and feedbacks, however they never listen to you. Not everyone is nice to work with. Quite a lot are making your work quite tough. Office politics very common, especially among senior staff. The company does not value people who are hardworking and can truly add value, instead they promote those who r good at stakeholder management. If you want to learn technical skills, this is not the right place.

Pros

Good vision, good talent (under bad management), market rate compensation

Cons

​Incompetent Leadership: Constant, chaotic reorganizations driven by new senior leads looking for short-term wins rather than sustainable engineering. ​Tone-Deaf Management: Townhalls are heavily curated to ignore genuine feedback regarding burnout and management debt. ​The "Silent Layoff" Strategy: Mass PIPs and aggressive performance grading are being used to quietly trim headcount, destroying team morale. ​Inefficient Ecosystem: Paralyzing security and risk processes block execution at every turn, while engineering teams are expected to run at 200%+ capacity. ​Inefficient HR: A heavy layer of senior HR personnel who offer zero practical guidance, zero empathy, and zero worker protection.
