Pros

Get paid on time. Friday Snacks.

Cons

Autocratic style of management. HR and PMs are dummy positions with no influence. Employees get micromanaged. Not an ideal place if you are looking for a long term career and especially if you need sponsorship. Company gives false promises and does not honor pre-employment promises regarding bonus or greencard sponsorship. If you want a long career, be prepared to have your self esteem challenged. Very abrasive and belittling style of talking to employees. Management rarely encourages good work. They will attack you at the slightest error and threaten PIP at the drop of the hat. Be prepared to have panic attacks. In one case, one of the colleagues actually had to take time off due to the same.

I am sorry your experience with us was not what you were hoping for. We do hold our employees to high performance standards, and our commitment to sponsorship is partially dependent on performance. Human Resources collaborates daily with Program Managers and Executive Leadership and provides guidance and recommendations that are in the best interest of the entire organization. We respect and appreciate the efforts of all our employees, and our goal is to continue to hire, retain, and reward top talent so that we can provide the highest level of innovation and support to our clients. We wish you all the best in your future career endeavors.

Pros

The CEO demonstrates authenticity and a sincere interest in employee growth. Note there was a change in CEO (Saboo is no longer acting CEO)

Cons

*The Chief Accounting Officer (CAO) consistently overrides employee authority and dictates decisions instead of collaborating. *Roles and responsibilities shift without discussion, creating confusion and frustration. *High performers' contributions are minimized or ignored by the CAO. *The CFO promised autonomy at hiring but did not uphold that trust. *Executive leadership communicates poorly and unprofessionally. *Chain of command is unclear, leaving employees caught between two sets of expectations. *Executive leadership does not know how to lead anyone. They were plastered with a nice title and comfy salary. Some communicate/dictate to their teams while others do not communicate at all. Worst team I've ever seen.
