Pros

The only perks we had, a competitive salary and a fruit on Thursdays before COVID, are gone.

Cons

This company has gotten much worse, dropping from just average in 2017 to bad in 2023, and now it's worse in 2025. This mess is all because of confusing leadership. A great example is the India Director who promised permanent flexibility in 2022, but has now completely reversed course, enforcing a tough 45-hour per week in-office mandate while blaming remote work for lost productivity, defying global trends toward hybrid models. This harsh rule demands excessive hours in the office and is compounded by a meager 23 days of annual leave, showing a deep disregard for work-life balance. When we ask for simple things to make the 45-hour week manageable (like food, travel support, or gym access), every single request is swiftly rejected with condescending arguments about how providing employee benefits is "not the company's core business." This shows they have no respect for the people they demand so much from.

Pros

- worked here with some of the most talented people I've met in the city - NY office is beautiful, fantastic view - company events are nice - support for international workers with I, H1B, O1 visas and green card applications

Cons

- extremely hard to get a raise - morale has been tanking because of mass layoffs - everything has to go through the CEO, who takes a very long time to sign off on anything
